Summary
The first video game I taught with this year is The Bad News Game.
The game chooses simple topics that most of us are too familiar with to illustrate the patterns followed by many propagandists.
Any time you try to act morally, the game will stop you and make you act like a troll.
The game makes you think of ways to lie to people in order to gain more followers and credibility.
The more successful they are at implementing these strategies in the game, the higher their score will be.

The Bad News game draws on inoculation theory for its theoretical justification.
