What should we do about fake news?

On Facebook a friend posted a link about UC Berkeley offering a class that is anti-Israel. Here is a link. https://www.facebook.com/1230432289/posts/10212970304072236/
It sounded outrageous so I did some preliminary research. I looked up the course catalog at UC Berkeley and I don’t see any such class.
How can we fight this in our culture? I think the biggest problem is people WANT terrible things to be true about people and entities they dislike, and people don’t question things that sound extreme. Even if I am wrong and the UC is offering this class, my question still holds, because all over America people believe untruths, don’t question, and pass around links that encourage strife.
