Fake news is a very common problem Americans deal with every single day. On social media, on numerous news sites/networks, and many different articles. In efforts to stop this an article "How Americans can help stop fake news". The article states that 1 in 5 Americans get their news from social media, as it becomes harder to find ideas to prevent fake news from spreading on social media.
