In December of 1996, Debra McCann and her two children were out shopping at a local Wal-Mart. The family was there to exchange and return merchandise previously purchased.

They were told that the police had been called and were told that they were not allowed to leave the store. Instead of actually calling the police, the store’s security officer was called. Sure that this was a case of mistaken identity, Debra McCann offered to show her identification, but was refused by the

Fake new became a popular topic in news regarding politically aligned news channels and outlets. For example, YourNewsWire is an online news outlet based in Los Angeles. Based on this website, Hillary Clinton’s victory in the popular vote was due to voter fraud of 25 million votes (Kosoff). YourNewsWire used evidence of an investigation the NPR, National Public Radio, conducted. Though the article’s claim of voter fraud seemed compelling, as evidence was to support the argument was supple. Yet the evidence was incorrectly used. The NPR was involved in this investigation of voter fraud, but only published the information as Pew Research Center conducted the analysis of credibility. Another piece of falsified data is that the investigation was not conducted as a means to discredit Hillary Clinton’s victory in the popular vote, as the investigation was completed in 2012, prior to Clinton and Trump’s campaign for office. This is only one example of skewed stories and biased articles. The creators of YourNewsWire, Sean Adl-tabatabai and husband, Sinclair Treadway, were politically aligned with Bernie Sanders for the 2016 election (Baum). The reputation that YourNewsWire has created for itself has plummeted. Google no longer supports this website with ad-sponsored money, and other accredited websites, such as Snopes, investigate the validity of news articles such as these and discredit their findings

The simplest way to prevent the spread of false news is to not share an article, or anything for that matter, if you haven’t read it.

Two weeks after these familes got settled into their new environment they learn that the jobs they were offered were no longer available. Target allowed these familes to keep the money they gave them to relocate as compensation for the loss of the job position. Now this leaves these people without jobs.
