If you're interested in science you're familiar with Piltdown man, formally named Eoanthropus dawsoni in 1912 but shown to be hoaxed in 1953. What you may not be familiar with is the DUALIST CONTENTION, and here's a thread on it... 
Yes, the one thing that every single person who’s heard of Piltdown man knows is that it was eventually determined to be a hoax. What’s discussed less frequently is that early 20th century views on Piltdown man were -far more complex- than popularly portrayed...
Acceptance of Eoanthropus as a valid proto-human (as per the Margaret Flinsch illustration here) might have been the 'mainstream' view that made it into textbooks and encyclopedias, but it certainly wasn’t the only one, nor was this acceptance wholesale or uncontroversial...
So from the thread @Qnie_Addis I have had some discussions with colleagues and made some inquires on the @CNN and @nimaelbagir's #Fake news against #Ethiopia on their 'news report'. 1/14

First, the best way, I think, is to assert based on the US laws. That means, they can be responsible for violating the laws of the US especially concerning fake news. But, due to the First Amendment that provides wider protection to freedom of speech this task is no easy. 2/14
The reason is simple, the US does not have laws against fake news. Of course there is fake news. But the US law favors freedom of speech more. They have their own philosophy. Yet, that does not mean freedom of speech is absolute. 3/14
@iKatherineGeorg Just stolen photos. No personal experience. Mostly retweets from @Gwadar_Pro. And 12 K Pakistanis to believe @iKatherineGeorg, with a white girl pic, is real account! Gora complex + male frustration in a country with gender segregation makes 🇵🇰 a paradise for Twitter #hoaxes.
@iKatherineGeorg @Gwadar_Pro Katherine George's Twitter account is run by a Pakistani man of ISI or Army &, more likely, by @Gwadar_Pro in a desperate need of Western positive feed-back.
But only 🇵🇰 men make the audience, as for the white girls invited as "influence-vloggers" in 2019 Pakistan Tourism Summit.

2. CLAIM 1: From Day 1 after Trump's campaign announcement speech, Democrats claimed he said "all Mexicans are rapists".
Even far-left Politifact ruled this False when Tim Kaine said it. But they kept repeating the lie & making up new ones.
