Abstract

Fake news and Bias news play a very important role in spreading misinformation and thereby manipulating people’s perceptions to distort their awareness and decision-making. In the proposed model for finding the bias, sentiment analysis has been used and for fake news classification, the passive-aggressive classifier has been used. The accuracy achieved for fake news classification using passive aggressive is 95.9%. The bias of an article is calculated based on the sentiment score and the score assigned to the author and publisher based on their average bias score.
