Fake News

Since our most recent Presidential election, the rise of "fake news," has skyrocketed. Fake news is something our President, Donald J. Trump views as authors posting anything public that he deems as not true, and started using the phrase "Fake News," to describe these. Fake news is not something new to the public, but its rise to stardom has recently come out to do his excessive repetition of this phrase. Many authors that post fake news articles will use stories that are heartfelt and that can emotionally effect someone, for example, in Outlander Expressions article about a "tornado carrying a family in an RV 130 miles but the family was unharmed." This perfectly executes the authors idea of picking a heartfelt topic to reach the public, but was lacking all the correct items to prove it's authenticity. This isn't the first time this has happened, nor will it be its last.
