# Detecting_Fake_News
In this project I worked on one of the biggest problem, detecting the fake news with 52,000 article with %97 Accuracy.

I started with scraping news from NYT API and The Gueardian API to have data set labeled as real news, and dowloaded fakenews dataset from kaggle.com. At the end I scraped more than 200,000 articles. I wanted to be able to represent the real world in terms of the proportion of the real news and the fake news in my training. I had 12,000 fake news articles from kaggle.com so I dediced to have more real news, assuming there are more real news then fake in real world. Eventually I had 43,000 real news and 12,000 fakenews.

Real and the fake news articles had to be in certain topics. I decided to have only from: "US News","Politics","Business" and "World", assuming that mostly fake news would be from these topics.
