Fake News

Fake news. You’ve probably already heard of fake new or heard trump talk about them. Well we’re here to tell you about it. Fake news have been a really around for a really long time and have become really popular thought out time as they keep evolving. One of the things that fake news is mostly interested is in politics, they are always sinking up on thing to make politics look bad or make stuff up just to make them look bad. What are fake news, fake news is false information or deliberate information they are constantly giving false information. 

        Fake news is mostly in news paper or in sketchy sources or even in social media for example Facebook. Somebody that is in the fake new a lot is Donald trump since he gets a lot of hate, and since he is social media active he get them all the time. Trump is really famous thanks to his way of thinking and the way that he does stuff and when he sees something that he doesn’t like he reacts, and the journalists from fake news have more stuff to write about him. Is as if he is trying to get them to write more about him. Fake news is starting to grow bigger and bigger every time and more people are starting to believe them for example the killing of the people in Iraq, the people fall for the fake news and and believe them and they starts spreading and it never ends.

         One of the ways that you can avoid fake news is always going to truthful news sources like CNN or ABC. And remember don’t believe everything the internet tells you. Always look for a trustful source.

       

 Fake news are news that aren’t true. What fake news does is that they deliberate lies or hoaxes spread via print or online social media. A big problem of fake news is that they aren’t illegal. People have freedom of speech and that is why they are legal. Not all of fake news are deliberate intentional. Circular reporting is a kind of fake news that happens when wrong information or mistaken information is published mistakenly . This happens when a piece of wrong information from a mistaken source begins to be viral. It is very important to double check information before sharing it.

         Fake news can be avoided. The first recommendation is to use a reliable and popular source. Most of the fake news are deliberated and shared throughout social media. Social media isn’t a reliable source. 

In conclusion is to try to look trustful sources like CNN, ABC, etc. Double check the news and see if it’s fake or it’s real. When you hear something and think that is fake, look it on Google to see if other sources are also talking about it and then you can see if it was fake or real. Twitter for us is not trustful that’s why we always go in google. Usually fake news are made by people who want to make a lot of noise and cause controversy, or, for example, throw at politics and the president.  These people just want to get their article to be interesting to get paid well and do not care what others think.
