Fake news and It's Issues

Fake news has always been an issue in the media. This issue stems from a biased and an agenda that most media put out to push. “The universe of “fake news” is much larger than simply false news stories. Some stories may have a nugget of truth, but lack any contextualizing details. They may not include any verifiable facts or sources'' (Desai, Mooney, Oehrli 2) There's many layers to the term “fake news” and in a perfect world, it wouldn’t exist. Whenever news is sent, a lot of the time an opinion is added. The reason this is bad is because it creates bias if it’s the first thing you read and then form an opinion about.
