- Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate Untrue News, a new search engine for fake
stories. Untrue News is easy to use and offers useful features such as: a) a
multi-language option combining fake stories from different countries and
languages around the same subject or person; b) an user privacy protector,
avoiding the filter bubble by employing a bias-free ranking scheme; and c) a
collaborative platform that fosters the development of new tools for fighting
disinformation. Untrue News relies on Elasticsearch, a new scalable analytic
search engine based on the Lucene library that provides near real-time results.
We demonstrate two key scenarios: the first related to a politician - looking
how the categories are shown for different types of fake stories - and a second
related to a refugee - showing the multilingual tool. A prototype of Untrue
News is accessible via http://untrue.news

We study the interplay between machine-(paraphrased) real news, machine-generated fake news, human-written fake news, and human-written real news.
Our experiments reveal an interesting pattern that detectors trained exclusively on human-written articles can indeed perform well at detecting machine-generated fake news, but not vice versa.

We propose a novel framework for generating training examples informed by the known styles and strategies of human-authored propaganda.
Specifically, we perform self-critical sequence training guided by natural language inference to ensure the validity of the generated articles.
Our experimental results show that fake news detectors trained on PropaNews are better at detecting human-written disinformation by 3.62 - 7.69% F1 score on two public datasets.
