Fake news is all the rage these days. PolitiFact described fake news as fabricated content designed to fool readers and subsequently made viral through the Internet to crowds that increase its dissemination. Subsequent to the 2016 election, the issue of fake news turned into a political weapon, with supporters of left-wing politics saying those on the opposite side of the spectrum spread falsehoods, and supporters of right-wing politics contending such accusations were merely a way to censor conservative views.
Where do you get your news from?
Is it a trusted source? Is it reliable? Do you research all sides of an issue before deciding where you stand? Depending on your answers to these questions, you yourself could be part of the problem. Don't fall into the trap of saying "It must be true, I read it on the Internet!"
