Computer game in school made students better at detecting fake news

> students who already had a positive attitude towards trustworthy news sources were better at distinguishing disinformation, and this attitude became significantly more positive after playing the game

From the examples in Table B1 of the report, students were considered "better at distinguishing disinformation" if they rated statements like "The mainstream media has been caught in so many lies" as inaccurate, and headlines alleging Russian interference in the US elections as accurate.

My concern, even as someone whose views happen to mostly align with mainstream media, is that what's being taught is not how to distinguish disinformation but instead a superficial judgement of "does this look like something the mainstream media would write".

I think there's a need for test examples that sound well within the "mainstream media narrative" but are actually false, and some crazy/conspiratorial-sounding examples far outside the mainstream media narrative that are actually true.
