What does fake news change the meaning?

When you put two things that are excluded to each other but you put them together

you get fake news. Social media has been around briefly these recent decades that has

contrived into something that should not have happened. In society technology has

outdone itself by increasing the price, product, what it has to offer. My priority is to try to

understand why fake news is still around and describing how it came to be. Fake news

has nothing real to offer and this evidence will provide to you what my place is in fake

news. Social Media is one component to fake news and you will find out throughout the

research I found on people’s perspective on fake news and how they choose to deal with

it.

In “Combating Fake News in the Digital Age” the author is trying to explain how

technology and how humans shouldn’t antagonize the new inventions coming out by

buying them and being original. ​ The article sums up Fake news that it has been

around for awhile and it was repeatedly was used for the 2017 election to make

people look bad.The history of fake news was that people were paid to write fake

news or their employer required them to do so. When people found out how

much attention new was getting they couldn't tell if it was real or made up.

Writers that we heard of today have been falsely accused of writing fake news to

see how people would react to the story. Fake news has been around awhile

when editors wrote fake news about a public figure they went to that editor and

demanded it to be retracted and have the correct heading. The more people

found out about the news the more attention it got and the more serious the

repercussions and fake news. In society you should know your limits so that you

can understand your perspectives in life. Telephone the game reminds me of

fake news because it get runned down by social media and all the people that

read and share it.

In Reckford’s “Fake News, Bad News, Old News” to recapitulate what I read

in the article the author thinks that once the media gets ahold of the news and its

boring news they switch it up too make it more interesting. When the media

undergoes the scenario then they combined or exchange the story for something

better. How could we make money not so valuable because that’s what the

journalist mainly write for the money. Do all people believe everything they see

on the internet is there any people left in our society because usually people

aren’t that gullible to click-bait that is on the internet. Researchers suggest that

we use more money to fund better journalist so they can write about real things

and spread the truth. When people read stuff that will make them think if it’s true

because clickbait can affect what people do to seek revenge on horrific stories of

fake news.

In Bratt’s “Sharing Posts:The Spread of Fake News” to recap what I

understand from reading about fake news it’s become more desired from the

whole ‘Pizzagate’ troubles. Fake news comes from the intricate of the internet

and use of new electronic devices. Critical thinkers try to figure out how they get

wrong information but then they realize where did they get it from the internet you

shouldn't believe everything you see and read. When people go on the internet

they don’t realize that is always going to be there whether you delete it or not it

technically is still there. Fake news is clickbait for other people making up a story

actually to make money for people having the benefit of the doubt on these

stories that people just use for the money. No reason is good enough to make up

lies about anything and thing they will get away with what they thought.

Fake news has been around for awhile but, it recently got populated

because this generation has many things problems that get turned into stories for

others amusement. Credibility is usually given until proven otherwise, fake news

people think is real until they save something extraordinary to get people to

contemplate about what they just read. Everytime one of those websites are

opened someone gets money for their fallacious facts and beliefs that will keep

being written because they want additional money. Money is the root of all evil

because fake news people react differently to it and people are getting money to

lie about people they don’t know personally and ruin their lives. Fake news can

ruin innocent people’s lives so the people who wrote it get money and probably

don’t learn their lesson.

In “Editorial: Real vs. fake news” they start to use one of the worse things to

go down in history the Las Vegas country concert shooting. Of course they had

to mention Trump and his opinionated tweets to get America’s attention. The

national security council withstanded Trump and embarrassed him then they

were forced to apologize. They author is trying to prove even the president

probably writes fake news and we should not trust anybody with even the highest

personages in the United States. The first conference meeting Trump brought up

was about what he believed was supposedly fake news since he has been in

office by covering mainstream stories while trying to cover new news coming in.

The writers of the article are probably in the republican party because most of

the article is talking about Trump and his presidency along with how what he

should change because what he has done so far wasn’t that great.

In Conclusion, Fake news has became a big issue in the United States

because most of the people are gullible to clickbait. Fake news is only possible

because the people who click on the news probably shares it and it gets spread

and those people get free money from their fake story. I don’t understand how

fake news is so interesting because sometimes the headings are so fake but

people still click on them. Over the years fake news has learned how to get

attention from people because fake news is combined with false information and

some true parts of true stories. Fake news can be about anything and anyone it

just takes other people to spread it like their rumors they might be true maybe

not.
