“…Technologists have been particularly insensitive to network trolling, and very few are seriously involved in its detection and debunking. 17 I've discussed the problems that fake news causes with elections before, 18,19 but suffice it to repeat here that without new computing tools, there isn't much that can be done against pervasive and persistent misinformation campaigns-foreign or domestic. What I call the Fake News Phenomenon holds that the effect of disclosing fake news will be directly related to the knowledge and open-mindedness of the recipient and will be wasted on the uninformed and tribalists.…”

Anonymous sources of online fake news tend to be always covered in newsgroups or bulletin boards [21,22].

“…The focus was on the use of equivocation but the problem of dealing with lies came up (Vrij, 2008). President Trump, both as a candidate and in office, has been a polarising figure and one problem is the extent to which many observers believe he is often dishonest in his answers (Berghel, 2017;Jack, 2017). Other analyses of this interview have suggested that other observers (Berghel, 2017;Jack, 2017) suggest that President Trump was lying, his speech follows none of the patterns of the test for equivocation (Bavelas, et al, 1988).…”

For this study, an answer that deals with the question -even if there are strong reasons for believing it to be false -is not treated as an instance of evasion.…”

Equivocation in Political Discourse: How Do We Know When It Is Happening?

Equivocation is a mode of speech adopted when the speaker wishes to avoid a direct answer to a question but is unwilling to resort to telling a lie. The result is a mode of speech at least partly designed to obscure communication rather than achieve clarity. However, determining what is equivocation is complex, not least as it can show attributes close to that expected when making a nuanced argument that takes account of lack of information or current controversies about the issue. This suggests the equivocation is much a product of how a given speech is interpreted by the observer. This study takes an interview given by President Trump shortly after his inauguration in 2016. Each block of speech is coded for evidence of equivocation (and, if so, of the type of equivocation). The main finding was that he systematically used equivocation in the interview with the manner of this shifting a little as the focus of the interview changed. However, there was no correlation between his use of equivocation and those sections were other observers have suggested his answers were actually dishonest. The extent to which he uses equivocation as a normal part of speech calls into account earlier assumptions that politicians resort to this mode of discourse at particular times rather than as a standard response. In turn, this requires the observer to consider how they define equivocation and how they respond when a particular politician uses this approach.
