Invite Friends Blog Sree Vijaykumar From the Editor's Desk People seem to be clubbing together with people they agree with and are all making one another angrier," says Will Moy, director of FullFact, a fighter of fake news. "The debate becomes more partisan, more angry and people are quicker to assume they are being lied to but less quick to assume people they agree with are lying. That is a dangerous tendency."
