Yes, I heard a podcast of an interesting lecture about 'fake news'http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38900572
Hans Rosling, possibly the most entertaining statistician on the planet (no that is not a typo he really was a statistician) has died aged 68.
by Tim Harford, another entertaining statistician
('Undercover economist' in The Economist, and presenter of 'More or Less' on BBC R4)
the following day in which he paid tribute to Hans Rosling.
I used to listen to 'More or Less' in my lunch-break when it was on after the midday news,
it was very, very good at taking apart statistics in the news
and showing how they're (ignorantly or intentionally) misused
then the BBC pushed it to mid-afternoon -
to allow politicians another 15 minutes to (ignorantly or intentionally) misuse statistics!
