That's right, I said it! Fake news does not exist! Think about it, the news stations and newspapers all have a political agenda, but they are not reporting fake news, they are reporting news in the way that is best to fit their agenda. Let's take President Trump for example. The news has been using his tweets a lot since he has taken over as President, and his tweets are real. You can go look at his Twitter and see that he said those things. So, that is not fake. How can you claim that the media is making fake news when the evidence is right in front of our faces that it is not fake?
Just like the Democrats and the Republicans have an agenda, so does the media. The media reports on events that happen in the world. You can watch the news and they could all be reporting on something that Trump said. The difference is going to be in the way they spin it. He said it and there is proof that he said it, but the sources could all use what he said differently. That is where people are getting the idea of fake news from.
However, if we had fake news, it would be the media making up a story that didn't happen, but claiming that it did, not the media putting a spin on an event that did happen. The fact of the matter is people want to believe they are being fed stories that aren't true because they want to believe everything their president says. Trump says that fake news is real because he does not like the spin that the media puts on things. I say that fake news isn't a thing!
If fake news was real, you wouldn't know that a terrorist attack happened at the Ariana Grande Concert last week. If fake news was real, you can bet that you would have never even heard the words fake and news used together because why would the media want you to not trust it? If fake news was real, you would be fed some story about rainbows and puppies every time something bad happened in the world. If fake news was real, you wouldn't know that North Korea had it out to get us.
Fake news is not a real thing! It has never been a real thing, it was something that Trump made up because he didn't like the way the media was portraying him. Even though it is glaringly true, he started using the phrase "fake news" to make the American people doubt the media, and guess what? You fell for it. Open your eyes, people!
