Should I Believe the News on the Media?

Everyone knows how easy it is to believe anything we see online. Most of the time, "fake news" is usually about politics and around the presidential election time. Most adults find their news sources on TV news. While that should be the best way to get your news, some channels can be false. Many people say that CNN is a vast new source that provides us with fake news, but how do we know what news is factual and fake? Usually, a significant factor that comes with fake news is clickbait. Clickbait is a way to draw people in with an interesting title or a photo that catches your attention and makes you want to read or view the article. In an article called "How to Identify Fake News," they address clickbait.

This is a perfect quote on what clickbait can do to us and how easy it is to believe anything we see online. Don't get intrigued by everything you see because not all is 100% true.
