The fake news is here!
The recent president election which sparked a new form of media, “fake new”. The fake news is used a manipulated by a writer to create a story a story that draws an audience. And although the fake news sounds true, and the place where it is published looks like a real news page. But all of it was to make money or create chaos. But in this article, “Fake news author is fired; apologies to those ‘disappointed’ by his actions,” by Joe Marusak Cam Harris, which was a recent college graduate and Republican intern, states, “While the initial motivation behind laughing a fake news site was financial- based, and the lesson is far more important – and it’s one that can’t be covered in a tweeter even an NYT article,” Harris was the author of a fake news article, “breaking: tens of thousands of fraudulent Clinton votes found in a Ohio warehouse,” That could maybe have swayed voters. But his argument evinced the mantra “the election we rigged” and ” was eventually shared 6 million times. But fake news can be used for political propaganda or for financial gain, but its ethically irresponsible. Harris and Davidson’s college apologizes for his action; however, there is no way to retract the information they have read and shared. Many are unable to deduce that the fake news articles are not true.
Cam Harris author of “fake” news.
In the article, the author uses numbers and statistics to induce the reader to look closely at the news for validity. The fact that “Harris is a 23-year-old” who created such chaos at such a young age indicates the issues with fake news. The author may be saying that the younger generation does not realize how dangerous this type news can be. The mention of “‘Tens of thousands’ of fraudulent Clinton votes” was an impetus for the article to be “eventually shared with 6 million people.” Harris’ use of such large numbers caused people to believe and spread the news. In his statement, Harris’ use of the phrase “large-scale changes [are] occurring in America” makes the reader wary of “fake” news articles that are intractable once they get in the mainstream media.
My reaction is like how do people do this because in the world today people already don’t trust others because people are always lying. And more recently America has gone downhill because people can’t suck it up and understand my president is Donald Trump. Yes, I am more of a republican and I make that choice to be and people lie and say trump said this and Hillary said that and they did this they did that and it’s hard to know what really goes on in our world. And I don’t see why people can’t just deal with. But I just think doing fake is dumb the people who do it are the ones that don’twant to be lied to. I know I don’t want to be lied to because id rather have the truth hurt then be lied to.
