Project Description: In this Python Project, my aim is to develop a machine learning program to identify when a news source may be producing fake news. I used a corpus of labelled real and fake articles to build a classifier that can make decisions about information based on the content from the corpus. Our model focuses on identifying sources of fake news, based on multiple articles originating from a source. Once a source is labelled as a producer of fake news, we predict that all future articles from the same source are also a producer of fake news.
