The "fake news" is a moderately significant deal as severe as 8 out of 0 to 10 scale, as the purpose of news is to deliver the current events or issues to general population as quick as possible. Therefore, it has significant risk to convey prejudiced opinion of certain perspectives without fact check, which could cause bemusement on people who do not know how to check biases in media by themselves. ]]> 2018-05-15 11:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hgale/fakenews/wish/260802656 https://padlet.com/hgale/fakenews/wish/260802668 News that is not true.

This type of news, found in traditional news, social media or fake news websites, has no basis in fact, but is presented as being factually accurate.
