How might you run news things and remark on false news (A test to Facebook's range and power is late, 9 December), while the front page of the exceptionally same version bears a bogus photograph of the US president-elect cutting loose with, evidently, Ku Klux Klan individuals? Donald Trump may or not be a supporter of this association and they thusly might be supporters of his. Be that as it may, the reasonable message of the photograph, with no conspicuous sign that it is false, presents unambiguous positive responses to these inferred questions.
I fly no banner for Trump, whatever the answers are in truth, yet as a joined supporter of your distribution's goal of "delivering quality, free news coverage, which finds and tells perusers reality", I would have expected better of you. On the other hand would we say we are all (endorsers, supporters, easygoing front page feature perusers) expected to know the claim to fame of Alison Jackson's work?

• Isn't the front page noticeable quality given to a photograph of Donald Trump evidently grasping Klan individuals an occasion of the fake news the pope is cautioning about? I have no time for the man and his techniques however I would not stoop to duplicating his strategies. As the pope sharply puts it, that way coprophilia lies (Pope Francis thinks about fake news utilization to eating dung, 8 December). The world's media ought not be utilized as a device to malign opponents with the disinformation that Orwell cautioned us of.

• So, let me get this post-truth thought straight in my mind: in the event that you concur with the notions behind a faked photograph you put it on the front page, where it may effectively be confused for a photograph of a bona fide occasion, and you hail it as parody. In the event that you don't concur with the opinions behind a fake/untrue news story (eg the deceptive Brexit transport trademark) you censure the utilization of it completely. Gee – the word pietism rings a bell I'm perplexed.

• I would not wish to disagree from any of John Harris' perceptions on Facebook's inadequacies. A previous councilor associate let me know: "I utilize Facebook and Twitter however I ensure that I keep the legislative issues very separate from them."
My gathering needed to show me how to tweet yet I don't send texts from the middle of an occasion. I need to contemplate my 140 characters before I put a message out there, regardless of the possibility that at first look it appears to be innocuous. So a large portion of my tweets go out toward the end of the working day.
In the interim my philanthropy for the year is Young Minds, concentrating on the psychological well-being and prosperity of youngsters and youngsters. I trust that we are in earnest need of research into the ways Facebook encounters can add to the mental enduring of a noteworthy extent of 16-to 25-year-olds.

• Fake news might jeopardize our majority rule frameworks, however neglectful denigration of government officials who are attempting to make those frameworks work is similarly careless. Along these lines Alan Sillitoe suggests that all MPs break the greater part of their guarantees (Letters, 7 December) and John Crace's representations routinely portray MPs as dumb, corrupt and brutal. These fake conclusions might be thought sufficiently witty for you to distribute, however they pander to a general perspective of standard governmental issues as wretched. Figures like Farage and Trump receive the fleeting reward; all the more treacherously, the conviction develops that vote based system itself is useless.

• Fake news is of genuine concern. There have been seven retreats in the UK since the second world war. Five have been under Conservative governments. That gathering has likewise managed each of the four separate times of quarter-on-quarter fall in development amid the 2010s. By differentiation, there was no subsidence upon the arrival of the 2010 general decision.
Also, now, the Conservatives have dramatically increased the national obligation. The Major government additionally multiplied the national obligation. However the Conservatives' undeserved notoriety for monetary fitness perseveres. They are subjected to positively no examination by the fake news spoilers of their rivals.
Different cases of fake news incorporate the official adaptations of occasions in connection to Orgreave, Westland, and Hillsborough; the charged murder of 100,000 military age guys in Kosovo; the presence of weapons of mass demolition in Iraq, and their ability for organization inside 45 minutes; Saddam Hussein's nourishing of individuals into a mammoth paper shredder, and his endeavor to get uranium from Niger; an unavoidable genocide in Benghazi; Gaddafi's sustaining of Viagra to his fighters so as to support mass assault, and his expectation to escape to Venezuela; an Iranian atomic weapons program. For each situation, that was fake news. Alternately, in plain English, lies.
