Current Event 1



(only watch first couple of minutes)

CNN (Cable News Network) is the number one American news channel that definitely has the reputation of leaning left on most topics. One topic that seems to never leave the headlines is President Donald Trump. If you have ever watched CNN they usually never have anything good to say about President Trump. Lately CNN has been covering President Trump's daily whitehouse briefings about the coronavirus pandemic. At one of these briefings President Trump was commenting on how they learned disinfectants can kill the virus and his exact words were "and then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning ... it would be interesting to check that” (Valinsky 2020). After this comment was made media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC (claims to be left wing) were scrambling to spread fake news and make their headlines say something along the lines of President Trump suggesting that we inject ourselves with disinfectant to combat the coronavirus, when that isn't what he said at all. The key part of this comment he made you have to look at is when he said “something like that by injection inside.” He wasn't telling people to shoot up with lysol, he was basically saying it would be nice if we could inject something,like a drug, that could mimic what these disinfectants do to the virus. CNN and other left wing media outlets changed up his words just enough to give them a headline in their favor. Then once this Information got to social media the fake news spread like a wildfire, and most people when they read that headline probably believed it without fact checking it themselves. Eighty-six percent of Americans who receive most of their news from social media, won’t fact check their sources (Brown 2017). This just goes to show how any major biased news outlet giving out false information can still be very influential to the general public.

So why is there even fake news and who invented it? You could say fake news started with President Donald Trump in 2016, but people have been lying about the news probably since the first newspaper. In an article called “Why is Fake News Invented?” from 30seconds.org, fake news can come from anyone and with the internet they can post anything anonymously. People can also spread fake news for multiple reasons, whether it is to promote an ideology, or even a product, but most of the time it’s for money, especially with major news outlets (30secounds 2019). The major news outlets mostly care about rating because their ratings are linked to their advertising slots, which is how they get paid. If they got low ratings all the time other companies wouldn't want to advertise on their broadcast or website. It's all about the clicks! https://30secondes.org/en/module/why-is-fake-news-invented/

One problem people sometimes have when it comes to getting reliable news information is that they can't seem to always tell if their news source is reliable or not. Well, thanks to Christina Nagler, from Harvard Summer school, we are given really good tips for spotting fake news! A couple of ways you can check your information is by checking the credibility of the news source, or even checking the sources' citations (Nagler 2020). If you're still having a hard time with your sources information you can always visit fact checking websites like FactCheck.org (Nagler 2020). Even though there are so many ways for us to check our sources, fake news sometimes still becomes viral, but how? One reason Nagler mentions is that some headlines really grab our attention and with social media we are easily able to share the headlines with our friends and family, but it's not as easy to evaluate or even read the actual article (Nagler 2020). Nagler also points out that people are mor...

My View

Growing up, the news channel was always on in my house. My father, who is pretty conservative, usually only had it on Fox News. Every now again though my father would switch it to CNN. One day I just asked him “ if you don't like CNN then why do you watch it?” Then he said something to me I wont forget, “son you always have to try and know your enemy, but you also have to think for yourself.” Now I know this sounds like two different quotes in one, but what he meant by that was that even though he's not a fan of CNN he wants to know what they're thinking, because we have to be able to forum our own opinions. If we don't think for ourselves, anything we hear that’s news related, even if its fake news, will consume our thoughts. Then the biased news media outlets who are spreading the fake news will control us. In my opinion though, almost all news nowadays is fake news. The top two news media outlets, CNN who leans left, and Fox News who leans right, are always attacking...
