Turn on any news station and most likely the words “fake news” can be heard. Americans hear so much about this “fake news” but what does it really mean and what are its consequences? Unreadable information spread to the masses can have unimaginable negative effects leading to an uninformed and mislead public. In a country where democracy is held to the highest standard, I believe that telling blatant lies is the greatest disservice that can be done to the citizens of America. People on both sides of the political spectrum, local and national media outlets and everyday Americans like you and me all have a responsibility to condemn and stop the spread of fake news and to keep facts and truth on the forefront of our political, social and educational landscape.
