Fake News


Fake news can be news that is fabricated with the intention of misleading or confusing readers. Misleading News are news stories that report quotes, images, statistics out of context, some of these stories can be old stories that are re-reported with a new misleading headline. They also mimic websites then write fake news websites that mimic the look of trusted news sources in order to fool readers into thinking a story is real. Another way of fake news is by fake and ironic news stories that are intended to be funny or entertaining. Another way of spreading fake news is by “a different interpretation of facts, usually derived from a misinterpretation of reports or by concentrating only on a subset of the available information”.
