A Dream as Fake News
This is what a fake news article looks like. The article titled “Unpresidented” claimed that President Trump had renounced to his presidential position. NPR said that copies were being handed out outside of the White House and the city’s train station. The Washington Post’s PR tweeted saying, “They are not Post products, and we are looking into this.” The creator of the paper came out saying that the paper was a dream and not at all what it may have appeared. Strategies that are used by people that create these is claim that it’s from a high-media news source, so that people believe it.
