Fake news is somewhat of a recent appearance in the society currently,
specifically on social media. There are currently so many different social
media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and even television in which news is
daily spread. Specifically, the term “fake news” was named the word of the year
in 2017 and it was known to “raise tensions between nations, and may lead to
regulation of social media”. The government as well as other journalists can
have quite an impact on an audience through the spread of fake news. Sometimes
the news is close to the truth and sometimes it’s just absurd. Journalists use
various rhetorical strategies, such as logos and pathos, in order to fool their
audience and get them on their side.
