Fake News, The New Uncontrollable Propaganda

Let’s talk about fake news. Now people are experiencing this either knowingly or unknowingly. The reason we receive, it is because the media is a business like a lot of things. These businesses need profit, so they draw viewers in with interesting news. Not every day it is interesting, so they stretch the truth or just plain out lie. Also they don’t care where the content came from, just as long as it is interesting to keep the masses watching. This fake news happen to a lot of news outlets even trustworthy news outlets.
In order to identify fake new you must first question the article's validity like if it is a trustworthy site, do other sites also have this information, the likelihood and other questions the Globe and Mail talks more about the fake news and everyone should watch it as it makes a lot of sense, but as a news site question it since they are a business too. Also take the quiz to test your judgement abilities on fake news. What I got was a six out of ten.

I think I got that because I have difficulty telling the difference between fake news and satires. I learnt that people do fake news for political gain, people do crimes by altering the information, people just do it for popularity via viral pranks. I also learnt that fake news isn’t satires, and mistakes. Fake news is very unacceptable as it can influence the masses and change people's lives even if it isn’t verified. Fake news is terrible as it hurts who ever it targets negatively. Fake news harms people when they don’t know that it's fake because it can cause people to believe in horrible things for example a D.I.Y lava lamp was actually a bomb killing those who tried. People are very easily tricked or manipulated by these actions.
