Fake News, Real Consequences

''Facing Consequences at Eden Prairie High'' and ''Facebook photos sting Minn. High school student'' are talking about the same topic, in two different points of view. These articles tell about the consequences a school takes to insure the lives of the students are safe and their future.'' Narcissism on the Internet isn't risk free'' is consubstantial to the two articles listed above but also unquestionably different. In my opinion these articles are very satisfying and accurate.

The only way to resolve this issue of citizens not knowing because of the fake news that is given is to figure out how to get rid of it. There are times where you will hear something on the radio about an issue compared to the issue talked about on social media with these two sides you are able to form an opinion because you have more than one source. She speaks about the power of words and how words are so powerful the catch or draws people into what the topic or subject is. The news and social media want to get ones attention and the best way to get ones attention is to be powerful with your words (493). As a result, people listen and pay close attention to whatever the message is from whomever which causes people to be so wrapped up into what is being said and they allow themselves to be fooled with misinformation. Fake news is something everyone should pay close attention to and understand that this is real and it can affect the world because of the ignorance from our

The spread of fake news can be detrimental and life altering without checking the validity of sources and facts before passing on such news to others. Pizzagate was a conspiracy theory that went viral during the 2016 Presidential Election campaign, which alleged there was a child-sex ring taking place and the top Democrats had something to do with it (Pizzagate: A Slice of Fake News). Some believe it all started when John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, had his email account hacked. Tons of emails were leaked and made public. His emails were said to contain coded messages that referred to human trafficking and were also connected to the Comet Ping Pong pizza parlor (“Pizzagate: A Slice of Fake News). James Alefantis is the owner of the Comet Ping Pong and also an acquaintance of Podesta. One email did contain Podesta and Alefantis discussing a fundraiser idea for Hillary Clinton, but no talk happened about the alleged child-sex ring. While this ‘news’ was spreading fast, Alefantis and his forty plus employees were receiving deaths threats, negative tweets on Twitter and Facebook, and facing harassing altercations with strangers. The staff observed social media outlets and “counted five #pizzagate Twitter posts a minute” at one point (Kang). Alefantis himself said that, “From this insane, fabricated conspiracy theory, we’ve come under constant assault.” (Kang) The only people that know what is true in the Pizzagate conspiracy theory are the ones who are

Boo! I bet I scared you. Suspense is a state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen. Roald Dahl creates suspense in ¨The Landlady”by providing the reader with clues throughout the story that leaves them sitting on the edge of their seat. I like scary books because they give you suspense that makes me not want to sleep that night.

To anyone looking to avoid fake news, Leonard Pitts says to read a newspaper. Pitts points out that there is a difference in satire and fake news such an SNL skit being made to poke fun at news sources being compared to a story about Donald Trump being assassinated. The New York Time's recent case study explains that fake news arises due to people not bothering to fact check the articles they share online. Fake News has become popular in conservative communities and in those looking to confirm that they are the true victims. The alt-right movement and its supporters have lead us into a spiral of misinformation and fake reality.

Although it was difficult to stray from the obvious aspects of this story, I found that once you remove all religious theories, it is quite tragic and perhaps one that many can relate with. Nathaniel Hawthorne tells a story about a man’s transition from youth and innocence to a life marred by mankind’s corrupt nature and darkness of the world. From the very beginning, Goodman Brown has a decision, to stay with his young wife, who expresses her fear of loneliness and a bad premonitions of that night, or to leave on a journey which he is not fully confident about. My thoughts are that he was heading to war and leaving behind his wife who represented all the good and purity of the world to him. He was reluctant to leave but felt it was his duty

The article, “Reality Check”, made me think about how much false information we are given. You can’t trust anyone, everyone lies. Even if they think the information is true, their source could be wrong. It’s almost impossible to find reliable facts in our world. I always go on twitter at night, and I’ll read the most unbelievable things on there and still listen to it just because it’s there. I’ll get heated over tweets that have fake information and make a fool of myself. I need to stop looking at twitter and maybe try the news instead. However, Achenbach states that sometimes even reliable sources like news shows give out bad information. So there really is no information show or website out there that you can trust. Even the government gets things wrong and/or lies to us. This article made me sad for the human race. Why do we feel the need to make up fake information and spread it. This is something that has happened a lot in my high school experience. Girls and guys get petty and decide to spread vicious rumors about others. However, the fact that other people believe it and continue to spread it around makes it even worst. “Reality Check” did make great points about false information, but it also confused me. I found this article very hard to follow and comprehend because it was so boring. Some parts in the article just

Fake News can effect on the world and the people on Earth. It can also make people believe into fake news when it’s not. Also, it can effect on people's life, job, career, family, and future. Fake news can cause people lives. People lie to each other all the time but most of it is for fun. People shouldn't be doing it on the environment. It can ruin so many people life. Fake news can cause the whole world in big trouble. It can be bad on the news or newspaper.

They say people are just buying into paranoia and letting those feelings get in front of them. That those fears are holding people back and they lash out at the media for what they think is fake news. These regards do hold some truth, but not as strongly as you would think. Many people are too afraid to rationalize between fiction and reality. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, it’s just that when that opinion is forced in like it’s a fact, that’s when things become worrisome. People need to be able to accept the whole truth, whether they like it or not. Also, people need to not be so scared of the news because that’s life being reported on. For example, the Trump and Russian case is still up in the air and instead of trying to figure out what happened, people make up their own truth. I personally don’t like him as a president and have my suspicions about him but I want to know the whole

Fake news is a concern because most people see something and think that since it is on the internet that means that it is true when in fact, mostly everything you find online is not going to be true. It is crazy how many people believe everything they see. It has a huge impact on everyday life because we see it every time we get on Facebook or Twitter and everyone starts to flip out over something that is not even true. Or it could be true but there is more to the story than they put out there and maybe the rest of the story will justify what they did they infuriated the people that read the news. People are trying to get rid of all the fake news and make more people aware that there is so much fake news out there. Do the research on the article that you are reading before sharing it all over social media and getting everyone mad at a certain person for no reason. As soon as people start realizing that not everything found on the internet is true the better off the human race will

But what is “fake news”? With roots in yellow journalism and circular reporting, fake news is the deliberate reporting of false information in a light that will make it seem legitimate. As reporter Elle Hunt writes for The Guardian, fake news is “completely made up, manipulated to resemble credible journalism and attract maximum attention and, with it, advertising revenue.” Hunt also goes on to explain that in some form, popular satirical news sites such as The Onion and Clickhole, also resemble fake news in a way. Hunt’s reasoning for this is that, although to many it may be clear that these sites publish news satire, some consumers may “easily [take it] at face value, especially if they touch on current events or politics and if they appear free of context on social media.” Additionally, Hunt adds that sites like The Onion actually are “often taken at face value.” But is this really an

There are many different aspects of George Orwell’s Animal Farm that gives the book a lingering appeal. Animal Farm is about a farm being taken over by the overworked and mistreated animals. They come together to try to create a place where they are not slaves and where they can enjoy life. They want to create a place of paradise where they can be equal to humans. They planned for a while and eventually it followed through when the farmer had whipped the animals for stealing food after he forget to feed them. They were eventually rid of humans and their habits and rejoiced. They then created their own government and rules. They created a civilization with jobs, schools, government, etc. Each animal had a certain status, the pigs at the top

The recent surge in popularity of social media comes with a price: fake news. Fake news is defined as news or media that has been altered or modified. Journalists have begun to analyze why that fake news exists and why it continues exist. Two authors, Eoin O’Carroll and Kevin D. Williamson, both have written articles about fake news. Eoin O’Carroll’s article “How Information Overload Helps Spread Fake News,” discusses how the media has bombarded us with news stories, blurring the distinct lines between real and fake news. Kevin D. Williamson, a journalist for the National Review, writes in his article “‘Fake News, Media and Voters: Shared Reality Must Be Acknowledged” that the news is not fake; it just does not align with one’s personal beliefs. Both authors successfully appeal to their audiences’ emotions and feelings, but O’Carroll is more likely to succeed than Williamson in persuading his audience to try and combat fake news because the writer presents himself as someone the intended readers will more readily identify with and offers evidence that his readers will find more compelling.

Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media. Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to gain financially or politically, often with sensationalist, exaggerated, or patently false headlines that grab attention. Intentionally misleading and deceptive fake news is different from obvious satire or parody which is intended to humor rather than mislead its audience. We can identify two categories; stories that may have some truth in them, but are biased or based on unreliable sources and deliberately false stories, designed to mislead and cause confusion. This generation’s fake news often employs eye-catching headlines or entirely fabricated news stories to increase readership, online sharing and Internet click revenue. In the latter case, it is similar to sensational online "click bait" headlines and relies on advertising revenue generated from this activity, regardless of the veracity of the published stories. Fake news also undermines serious media coverage and makes it more difficult for journalists to cover significant news stories. Fake news is not a new concept. It has a long and brutal history from 15th century anti-semitism and a mysterious 18th Century earthquake through to ‘pizzagate’ and the Pope’s apparent support of Donald Trump.I will use “#PIZZAGATE,” which went viral as an example.
