Only partially trustworthy-Fake news on twitter
Probably untrustworthy- Trump wins the Award Obama never could
These three articles were similar in a way that they all had authors. It can be very difficult finding out which article is one with the truth and the one that isnt. But if you know how to look for validation it shouldnt be to hard. The first article I choose as very good news was about how people like passing on lies rather then the truth. It gave evidence and resources it got its information from. The partially trustworthy has only some of the things listed above but not enough solid evidence. The untrustworthy was about trump. It doesnt have any facts or resources they got their information from. She didnt lied about it. It was made up. The conclusion I came up with about untruthful news is that I cant believe everything I see on the Media because a lot of people like to make up things based on their own opinions. News should be facts with evidence, not just hear say.
The purpose of this assignment was to be able to identify when you see fake news. To be able to call bullshit on news being broadcast-ed for the world to see. The key question at the heart of this assignment is Can you detect untrustworthy news?
Your statement has depth in reasoning that the reason you can not believe everything hinges on those who will post based on their opinions rather than on facts of an issue.
ReplyDeleteHi Bernadette,
ReplyDeleteGood work linking your articles and inserting your video! I'm questioning precision of your statement, "These three articles were similar in a way that they all had authors." Could you be more specific and give me more details about this?
Thanks,
Greg
The articles had specific authors. It wasnt websites that didnt have credible authors. Some websites dont have an author.

ReplyDeleteHi Bernadette, I am questioning your statement on what the standard of credibility of every “News” should be. You mentioned that every news station should be aware of what is true evidence and what isn’t. Would you say that exposure to any news outlet would only confuse those who are out there crap-detecting? Or is it more about the credibility that society invests heavy interest on? Can you elaborate more on what outlets in particular led you to think this way? More clarity needed.
