Remember the days before “fake news” was a common household phrase? The good old days of trusting elected officials and the press are long gone. With different news outlets producing different versions of the same event, it’s hard to make heads or tails of the situation at hand. It doesn’t help that antagonistic friends and family post and re-post memes supporting their point of view ad nausea, despite lacking any semblance of truth.

It’s enough to drive anyone crazy. Who can keep track of what news story got debunked and which ones are actually true? Well, that depends a great deal on where you get your news from. Before you take this quiz, it isn’t a matter of what you want to believe versus what actually happened. Some headlines on this quiz are totally true, and only one option in each question is totally false.
