Fake News: an I-CBT game about spotting OCD's commentary

Fake News

OCD hands you a doubt and immediately sends two people to cover it. One sticks to the hard, cold facts. One treats it like the crisis of the century. Your job: pick the journalist.

J
Jayne
Investigative journalist
Only files what she can verify. If it can't be pointed to, it doesn't make the story. No drama. Just facts.
T
Tucker
Political commentator
Never met a doubt he couldn't turn into a crisis. Filling airtime is his job -- and he is very, very good at it.

Tucker isn't lying. He's just doing his job. The problem is mistaking his show for the evening news.

What makes Tucker so convincing
Tucker doesn't make things up -- he takes the doubt seriously and runs with it. That's what OCD does too. The commentary sounds responsible, even wise. Jayne's move is simpler and harder: only report what's actually there. Let everything else go.
