It’s another when it happens in my personal life where I, often, feel helpless and discouraged.
This means that people were sharing and forming opinions (and maybe even voted) based on untrustworthy information.
It’s amazing to see how much of a partisan spin can exist.
For this reason, it’s important to check and double-check your informationbeforejumping to conclusions.
Any arguments, actions, or movements associated with this untruth is not only harmful but unnecessary.
It’s a fight where there really didn’t have to be one.
That’s the point of “fake news,” though.
It’s unfortunate, but not a surprising business strategy.
Poverty, war, and terrorist attacks are shaping our realities.
We don’t need any more reasons to be fighting especially, due to manufactured news stories.
Our opinions and beliefs will be shaped by the reality created by that particular outlet.
That’s not a very balanced way to live, think, or interact with those around us.
Here’s an example to illustrate the point.
If you only go to one Indian restaurant, you will only be familiar with its menu.
Unbeknownst to you, they’ve left out an entire preparation style because they couldn’t afford the equipment.
By only frequenting one Indian restaurant, you limited your knowledge to what actually exists.
The same is true of the news we read.
It’s more than just a punchline on a comedy show.
You cost me money because I had to protect my family."
All news articles contained withinUndergroundnewsreport.comare fiction, and presumably fake news."
That’s right even when some discover that they have been wrong, many will refuse to accept it.
I recently commented on a story and began to share my opinion.
Not only was I blocked before I could elaborate (a first for me!)
Sadly, this is not an isolated situation.
I see it happen to others all the time.
My suggestion is to check multiple news sources when verifying the accuracy of a story.
It’s also no surprise, therefore, that this has led to some very dangerous situations.
Make a choice to be patient.
Educate others about what you know and be willing to learn from them in return.
You might be surprised by how similar we are underneath the divisive rhetoric.
Maybe the huge chasm between us is actually just “fake news.”
I’d like to think so.
