How does someone sift through all the information they come across and decide what is the truth and what is fake? It can get difficult sometimes because you always want to believe the things that you agree with. “Fake news is not news you disagree with” and I believe some people have a hard time coming to realize that fact. Fake news is information that cannot be proven completely true. It does not mean that nothing in the article is true, it just means at least some part of it is not correct. You have to really stop and think about the information you are getting. Once you can realize that news can be true even when it completely goes against your personal beliefs then you are one step closer to being able to figure out what you should classify as fake versus real news.
