Fake News
12019-05-08T03:31:51-07:00Anonymous105811plain2019-05-08T03:31:51-07:00Chelsea LarymoreYou bring up some really interesting points about the integrity of American reporters. It's really relevant to what is going on in the media right now with all the claims of "fake news." Reporters often over-exaggerate or even embellish to provide the best story and get the best rating. I am recollecting on the video of the weather reporter appearing as though he cannot stand up straight due to incoming hurricane winds, but then someone walks past him in the background and is having no trouble. Clearly the fake news does not begin and end with political related news. Since it is such a widespread problem, how does the public identify the trustworthy reporters? And if none of them are trustworthy, how can the public keep up with current events? Do we simply ignore current events and go about our lives in ignorance? I don't anticipate answers to these questions, but I do feel like they are worth consideration.
