Picture this, you’r in highschool and rumors are being spread that isn’t true, you’re so angry that false information is being spread about you with out anyone confirming or looking for the ttruth. So, would you do the same to others? would you want someone else to feel what you did? I would think you answred no. It is very important to look into an issue ,subject,person,article etc before retweeting, sharing, or talking about it only because what you hear OR read can be made-up crap that is just for the sources entertainment.
News articles in the 20th century are always full with he said she said or others just heard through the grape vine, stories now adays are never actually from the first persons point of view. For me to think a political news story is true I would have to look through comments, more likely if the post is not from an official website. People who comment on articles on the internet usually give great feed back on the issue or even know more than what is said in the article this leads me to clicking on other links people provide and also do some research myself before I 100% can run with the issue and spread it to others. You can not take what you see online at face value; considering some people troll and spread false news all day and everyday. It’s always great to determine is information is bias or has errors ( here’s a link that will help you sort that out) how to detect bias
Over the years I’ve seen tons of false news stories, a question to ask is the media becoming more biased? the answer is YES
In my experience I always make sure what I am reading is true, it’s always useful to use sites that help you see bias from facts and they are not hard to find, especially if the topic is important to you .I realize it is hard to know what is true and isn’t with everyone who post being so good at making things seem real
