The Fake News Game

As to why one should play this game: This online game could be a 'psychological vaccine' for fake news

tl;dr: Play the game and learn the techniques people use to create fake news, to get it believed, and to shoot down rebuttals to it.

While I tend to rely on more 'mainstream' news outlets, just playing through this has me concerned about pretty much all of them now. Definitely going to be checking facts more closely.

I scored 9 out of 15 on the quiz at the end. Some of the headlines threw me for a loop.
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
