Abstract
This paper seeks to address the classification of misinformation in news articles using a Long Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network. Articles were taken from 2018; a year that was filled with reporters writing about President Donald Trump, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the Fifa World Cup, and Russia. The model presented successfully classifies these articles with an accuracy score of 0.779944. We consider this to be successful because the model was trained on articles that included languages other than English as well as incomplete, or fragmented, articles.
