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

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.

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.
