IN OTHER NEWS...

Still in love with Obama
Liberals love him. But is the former president's "idealism" outmatched in the current vitriol of modern politics? "Fight Fire With Fire, or Be Civil With Trump? The Obama Coalition Is Unsure," this New York Times headline reads.

We know that fake news is rampant in today's political climate. But it's not just the divisive U.S. elections that are prone to fake news.
