There is a rash of outlets turning out completely fake news with inflammatory, baiting headlines, which can be more easily shared now than ever before.
This problem is undoubtedly different than if some newspapers in one town or city publishing wrong information; then it was contained to a geographic area, but that's no longer the case with electronic media.
- rdtsc 10y agoIt sure is a problem but this showing right after the election with Facebook, Google and all these media outlets started talking about "Fake News" all of the sudden is a not a coincidence, there is an implication there and my point is that is largely made up and somewhat dishonest.
- karmelapple 10y agoDo you think the problem was worse now than in the past? My point is that yes, it IS worse.
