  • 6 News English From bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Sophie.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • What are you reading?

  • A news blog.

  • It says here that the fossil of a two-headed dinosaur has been discovered in Greece.

  • Look, look at this picture.

  • Oh, honestly, Neil.

  • You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.

  • This story is from one of those fake news websites that float about on social media.

  • And you aren't the only one to get taken in.

  • Even serious news channels report these types of stories as if they were true.

  • Taken in means fooled by something.

  • Well, I must admit, I did believe it.

  • And I didn't know that fake or pretend new sites existed.

  • How am I supposed to know what's fake and what's real?

  • So many extraordinary things happen.

  • That's a good question.

  • And actually, digital news and its effect on traditional newspapers is the subject of today's show.
