You need a scorecard to keep track of the fake news charges being slung lately. Among the latest: Time magazine has asked The Trump Organization to take down fake magazine covers featuring a pre-presidential Donald Trump. The newsweekly made the request after The Washington Post reported Tuesday that at least five Trump properties had hanging a Time magazine cover showing Trump. But the magazine covers, dated March 1, 2009, were fake. The
One of the several political issues America faces today is fake news. Any person can go on the news and will see numerous articles stating how President Trump makes accusations that the news is fake (or at least most of it is). In Macbeth, there are Weird Sisters, and they can be compared to fake
According to Newsmax, “The Washington Post has assigned 20 reporters to look into every aspect of Donald Trump’s past as the presumptive GOP nominee seeks to become the next president of the United States, famed Post associate editor, Bob Woodward, said Wednesday.” Woodward is looking into Donald Trump’s real estate deals saying that “The New York real estate world is more complex than the CIA. Look, the job at The Washington Post has to be tell us everything about who the eventual nominee will be in both parties, 15-part, 16-part series, 20-part series, we want to look at every part of their lives and we're never going get the whole story of course but we can get the best attainable.” It was also said that the Post is working to get the essence of Hilary Clinton. Woodward does not believe that Clinton purposely tried to use her private email server to send out classified information. In another article by Newsmax, “Woodward called Hillary Clinton's connections to "pay for play" through the Clinton Foundation and the access she had given when she was secretary of state "corrupt" and something that voters should be troubled by. Yes, it’s corrupt; it’s a scandal,” Woodward told the "Fox News Sunday" panel monitored by Wednesday's presidential debate moderator Wallace, and referencing back Wednesday's
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
“I am not going to give you a question. You are fake news.” This is the now infamous response from President Donald Trump during his first press conference since taking office when asked “Sir, can you give us a chance to ask a question?” by CNN reporter Jim Acosta (Johnson, 2017). President Trump’s dismissal of Accosta sparked the colloquial usage of the term “fake news,” a phrase the current president uses to lambaste media sources who report stories that do not present a favorable impression of his presidency. However, true “fake news,” has existed for far longer than Donald Trump’s presidency and includes three main types: satire, biased reporting, and deliberate misinformation. Fake news has grown in quantity and now Americans across the country are expressing concerns about not being able to trust media sources once considered honest and reputable, along with having trouble distinguishing between real and fake news.

Have you ever thought about what people back in the day read in their spare time since we all just immediately get on our phones? I compared and contrasted the August 2015 Time magazine, and the June 4th 1864 edition of Harper’s Weekly. I have come to the realization that when people say times have changed, they are not kidding. It is crazy to read in between the lines and see how Americans lived over 150 years ago. The way things are placed and discussed are very different in both Harper’s Weekly and Time Magazine, but the two are similar in some ways also.
There are a lot of excellent significant landmarks that can be commemorated by a coin by the colonial Williamsburg foundation; but here are the four structures that are worthy of being commemorated: The Bruton Parish Church, the Capitol, the Governor's Palace, and the Magazine. Commemorate means to honor a certain place or a person. All these structures are important, but the most significant structure to commemorate is clearly the Magazine. According to my research, the Magazine is the best choice because it succeeds all of the goals it has to meet, it has a lot of historical significance, it is relevant to citizens today, and it has a connection to the mission statement “The future may learn from the past.”. The paragraphs below will explain
Throughout the day on October 9, 2017, The New York Times website covered a variety of stories, featuring numerous articles concerning the Las Vegas tragedy and gun violence in the United States, as well as pieces highlighting President Trump’s declination of the Iran Nuclear Agreement and cutback of employer birth control coverage. The outlet also published stories regarding Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment allegations and Steve Mnuchin’s $800,000 travel expenses. Across that Friday, the digitally-initiated HuffPost focused its attention on political issues, from Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump and Russia’s collusion to disputes between Doug Jones and Roy Moore. Similar to The New York Times, HuffPost featured stories on the
Recently Trump turned his attention toward the New York Times in particular, after they published a report that said people close to him said he was struggling to overcome the falling
Carrie talked about the controversy in her book entitled "Still Standing: The Untold Story Of My Fight Against Hate, Gossip And Political Attacks." One of the things that she discussed in the book was a pageant incident involving Donald Trump. Donald allegedly asked the contestants to put on revealing outfits. He also asked the women who
One example is when they put out the article "Charles Foster Kane Defeated, Fraud At Polls". From that headline you would believe that he was beaten by some illegal purpose, but it was just a headline getting people to read the article and the enjoyment of
The problem could have been avoided by Newsweek had the reporters exercised some precautions and taken some additional steps in gathering their information. Dale Jacquette’s book Journalistic Ethics states, “We should expect that most journalists, if they are in tune with the moral obligations of truth telling in the profession, are always aware that there are external checks on the truth or falsehood of their reporting. They should therefore welcome the fact that their work must constantly stand the test
Under the Politics section of the New York Times, Journalist Richard Perez-Pena, who has been with The Times since 1992, writes Ethics Watchdog Denounces Conway’s Endorsement of Ivanka Trump Products. This caught my eye because, my prior knowledge and my decent morals know that when representing someone, especially someone so controversial, you shouldn’t endorse their materials but their accomplishments and behavior. It also caught my attention because this is the politics section and Ivanka Trump, like her husband, is basically irrelevant to the political world beside inheritance into it.
