This image lies on the basis of fake news. Fake news has been an ongoing topic. An article from The Atlantic starts by quoting Jonathan Swift, "Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.” There is a lot of public rhetoric in this article, from what I was able to grasp from reading, a group of MIT students have done several studies to redirect how information comes across and “to reduce the spread of fake news”. It is evident that getting rid of fake news will definitely come with challenges especially in the social media which seems to have a very amplified platform of fake news stories.
