The Fake News Flue
On this week's blog I would like to talk about how important it is to make sure you are getting factual information. Lately fake news has been a hot topic for many media outlets, and it seems as if there are two sides; the President and the traditional news companies. Companies such as CNN, Fox, and MSNBC are all trying to fact check President Trump. It is important that people get their news from multiple sources instead of getting it from just one source, whether it be Trump or traditional news outlets or alternative ones. Today fake news has run rapid on social media and people seem to have a distrust in anything information they get. People need to fight for a factual information and not to let Donald trump censor anyone. It is interesting because we are learning in class how connected everyone is in regards to the internet, but it seems as if that communication can be contaminated if there is no truth. The internet can be a great way to communicate and recieve information but we need to be able to know when the infromation is true or false.
