Fake News is NO News

Fake news is a common problem that occurs pretty often everywhere on social media or news broadcasting channels. This happens when a source feeds people with incorrect and false information about a certain topic. A way to avoid fake news is to make sure your source is reliable; check who the writer is, find whether there's an obvious bias against an opposing component. But if there's really no good way to tell, do more research and use fact-checking websites.

              

CNN is one of the many news sources that has staged a scene. The pictures on the right were taken after the London attacks on June 3rd 2017. The news directors gathered up people that wore hijabs and used some camera work to make it seem like they were protesting. But a a video of them setting up the the protest was leaked on youtube.

CNN is very persistent with their allegations against Donald Trump. They claim that him and his campaign has inappropriate ties with the Russian government. The slandering news was spread around throughout the whole channel. Unfortunately for CNN the allegations had no foundation and they had to retract their story. CNN received a lot of backlash because of this retraction and the journalist who were involved in the story resigned after the retraction.

It's hard not to believe everything you see on the internet, especially not when there seems to be crucial evidence that makes the news seem like they're true. There are many clickbait and misleading like saying things causes cancer and/or other diseases, making the audience worry about their health, but then were proven wrong by doctors. There are many things people find clickbait intriguing, but I find it very problematic when the article or source has no truthful content about the certain topic. I also dislike it when many people use fake news to ruin someone's name to ruin their careers. 

In a nutshell, fake news is problematic and it needs to stop.
