Fake news is the idea of taking real factual information and twisting it into something that isn't true. People are being lied to and people don't know whether to believe the news or not. I give it an 8 because, it is a serious issue however it isn't the most important issue.

There are articles posted everyday about dumb topics that are usually not very overwhelmingly interesting, but they have a misleading title so it gets a lot pf clicks. Articles can be created based off of a small piece of information that was supposedly leaked. It is only a level 9 issue depending on the situation.

Fake news is informative information that is either biased, or based on false accusations and facts. The big deal is that it provides false information about many people and events that can have a big impact of the publicity and reputation of people and businesses. Fake news holds back information. I would give it a 7 on the severity scale.

I define fake news as being information that is given to you that is being either warped to fit a specific agenda or is completely untrue altogether. I give it a 5 on the severity scale, as it's not a huge problem if one takes the time to verify their information with multiple sources.

Fake news is something someone says that is a lie. They are trying to persuade people and change their opinions. Or they are trying to sabotage someone and make them look bad. Fake news is a 5 because it's not that big of a deal but it can cause serious problems.

# data[].attributes.body
fake news is something that is made to make someone look bad and have people turn against them. This is a big problem because this causes confirmation bias that is fake, and people usually believe everything they see online. So when we post these fake things we are exploiting people for things and events that never happened and turning an audience against them.

Fake news is something presented as facts that is either opinion, false information, or the two tied together. Commonly found on blogs typically written about politics, this is done in order to persuade people to believe the author is correct. I think this is very severe because many people don't know how to tell reliable sources and facts from fake news anymore.

Fake news is news made up to either harm or try to fix someone's reputation . It is probably an eight in the severity scale because it can be harmful especially when retaining information.

Fake news is news that is either deliberately omitting information, phrasing information in a certain way, or using entirely fabricated false information to present a narrative that is not compatible with reality, usually to promote a certain viewpoint or political agenda. Another word for this would be disinformation. I would rate this at a 10 in severity, because it has been used across the world recently in an attempt to influence elections, to varying degrees of success. In France, disinformation was used in an unsuccessful attempt to influence the election. For instance, there were stories before the election claiming that Francois Asselineau won 56% of the vote. He actually won 1%. In addition, there were unsubstantiated stories about a secret offshore account supposedly owned by Emmanuel Macron, meant to influence voters to support his main opponent, Marine Le Pen.

Everyday, we are exposed to new information from different sources. Trusting your source is very important because in today's world, fake news is all around us. Fake news is stories about things that aren't true, and want to dig and instigate problems in the world, especially with politics. Fake news is such a big deal, because it causes major problems with false information circulating and it can make people lose their credibility, the reporters as well as who the article was about.

In my opinion, "fake news" is information that has been altered to fit or agree with the authors viewpoint on the situation and they hold back information toward the audience. When some information is held bad the audience does not get the full story. I would give it a 7 on the severity scale. For the past year the news has become less trust worthy and many news sources aren't giving the true story of news that isn't true, it is hard to know what story to believe that you are being told.

Fake news is biased information that someone tries to present as unbiased information. I think it is a 7 on the severity scale. I choose this ranking because although some people may choose to believe this fake news, some people choose to ignore it. However the media does influence a lot of people's opinions so I do believe that this is still a serious issue, but not nearly as serious as some people make it out to be.

Fake news is something that is proven to be false. Many sources will use fake news to entice you and/or explain their opinion. Lots of this news is something that the average person would believe, even if it is not true. Skewed information is also fake news and it is often used to convince you something on a controversial subject. I would rate fake news as an 8 on the severity scale because lots of people believe something that is not true, and often times makes them look unintelligent. The top searches on google for controversial subjects needs to have all true statements, with no skewed information.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of fake news entails falsifying or exaggerating information. I think that holding back information from a story can also be classified as fake news. In my opinion, I wouldn't describe it as severe as that's an extreme adjective but moreso as a problem that should be dealt with. I'd rate it a 6 or a 7.

Fake news is news that is not true and is made up to make someone or something look good or bad. It is a huge problem because most of the information that the average American receives is fake news. This creates even more divides between our political parties and grows hatred between different groups in our country. When fake news is so prevalent, anyone can just say anything now and it is taken as true. This is a big problem as well because then people don't know what to believe. It also gives an excuse to never listen to what others have to say because everyone thinks that people with their own views are telling the truth and anyone that goes against them is telling fake news. I would rate this a 10 because it is a huge problem that needs to be solved or soon none of our news will be real.

Fake news is a term that became relevant after president Trump. People target the prejudiced narration of the news on tv and social media. It is a 4 on the scale. because it doesn't affect as much as people think.

Fake news is probably a 4 on the severity scale, some of it can be bad and some of it can be pretty light. But it is definitely there and is definitely a problem! Fake news is the news that is completely false or made up. None of it has actually happened or , it is slightly altered but still false. Part of the reason i said four is because most fake news is not 100% false or fake , most of it is slightly altered or changed from a truth.

Fake news is fabricating or exaggerating information that is shared with the public. It can also be biased information. I give fake news an eight on a severity scale because the general population heavily relies on news as means of communication and connection with the rest of the world.

Saying false information that is not true or skewed. They could be doing this for click-baits. But this is not correct. This could lead to something big and it has more power then you might think. I would give it a 10 because media has a major part in people's views on things, so by writing false information it could build up to be something huge.
