I'm looking for sources or actual stories (trending or past ones) in which unverified (fake, fabricated or intentionally misleading) news were passed for bona fide reporting. Any topic will be of interest -  from major international events to retracted company statements and doping in sports. I'm curious about cases in both mainstream or social media.

If you've seen such story developments, I'd appreciate a link and your comment on how you see it relevant, or what you know about it. Do you consider it deception, and if so, and why? If not, what is it then? What impact has the fake news piece had on who in your opinion?

Thanks so much! VR
