Which of the Newspaper Articles are Fake News? by Sylvia Weiler https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45 Chat with your classmates about the newspaper articles and about the question if they are reliable or not. en-us 2021-02-13 22:12:14 UTC 2021-03-15 22:38:22 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1209980295 I think the news "This man's story bout buying a..." is fake. The website is build like reddit or other social media, where you can upvote articles. This system supports fake news, because it looks like real news if more people upvote fake news.]]> 2021-02-17 07:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1209980295 https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1209993792 The many cuts in the video to the article "Help me find him:..." seems to be strange. But all in all i think it's a real news. Also it is a Boulevard press.]]> 2021-02-17 07:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1209993792 https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210000905 I think the pictures of the girl in the article "Family's outrage as 3-year old..." are real. But if the fact, that she couldn't eat at KFC, is real seems to be questionable. It could be true but otherwise it could be, the parents want attention for her support. As an outside person it is difficult to know the real facts. Also looks the website more like social media with a lot of comments and pop ups on the sides.]]> 2021-02-17 07:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210000905 https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210019026 The news "How a man named..." is real.

The woman repeats oftenly in the video to share the video and to follow her on facebook, What shows that this source just wants attention]]> 2021-02-17 10:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210594435 https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210626222 I would also say that the McDonalds story is fake because the website is strange and I think the whole story doesn't make enough sense to be real]]> 2021-02-17 10:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210626222 https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210650302 Pregnant woman: It has been found a second video on Natalie Amyot’s YouTube account, where she explains that it was simply a viral video to promote Holiday Mooloolaba and the beachside Sunshine Coast location. → fake news ]]> 2021-02-17 11:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210650302 https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1210657956 "Family's outrage as 3-year old...":  
There are many ads and flashing banners which overlap the text and the sensational headline sound suspicious.
As the story, which was told by the girl’s grandmother to a local TV station doesn’t match the facts so it is probably a
fundraising hoax. Other sources assume that the internet loved the story of a "disfigured little girl bullied by a multinational food conglomerate" and that the family was asked to leave a KFC that turned out to have been closed for years. -->  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/06/24/report-viral-story-of-disfigured-girl-kicked-out-of-kfc-was-hoax/

Raby said that the only true element to his story is that he ordered a milkshake and that he was offered an apple pie instead since the milkshake machine was broken.
The part which made the story viral was made up according to Raby.

Also the website has only a little amount of advertisments and looks quite authentic. On the other hand, the story is a little bit strange because there are open questions, such as why the women doesn‘t ask some friends if they know more or why she doesn‘t look up on social media if she could find the man‘s profile there and contact him. All in all, it could be real but there are still some suspicious aspects about it.]]> 2021-02-17 13:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1211079121 https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1212808062 That was easy. Story 3 is serious. 1 and 2 could be true, but need a further background check. But not very relevant. Story 4 is rubbish.]]> 2021-02-17 20:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/weiler2/hyt2e1ks50ppfz45/wish/1212808062
