Or that both the Pope and Denzel Washington endorsed Donald Trump? Or get this—there’s proof that scientists have conspired to fake global warming evidence?!  Did you also know that these 3 examples of fake news…?  This talk will focus on what news is, how professionals gather it, the sources to be trusted, how to spot fake news and how to avoid it.

Golden Beer Talks are fun community events, held at the Windy Saddle Cafe (map).  There is no cover charge.  Dinner is available for those who want to purchase it.  Every month, we feature beer from one of Golden’s craft breweries.  This month we’ll offer a couple of selections from Cannonball Creek.  People will begin to gather at 6 and the talk begins at 6:30.
