Quasifalse news is different from false news. The latter comes completely from nothing. But the verisimilitude of quasifalse news conceals various distortions that do not correspond to the fact, thus producing a great evil influence on audience.

But quasifalse news, just like covert virus attaching to news organism, is not easy to be conscious of, and endangers our journalism imperceptibly. There are many showing ways for quasifalse news: noneffective information, weak news source, suspicious numbers, deep hurt in contrast to the strong principle, and stiff routines. All these have a profound, complex source of production. For quasifalse news, it is necessary to have a deeper criticism in academics and a larger, more thorough cleaningup in practice.
