A news headline reads, Facebook Announces Plan To Combat Fake News Stories By Making Them Actually Happen. Websites like The Onion like to put out the most random stories ever. They do it for comedic purposes and often post about current events in a completely wrong manner. This specific article speaks of fake news by saying that Facebook is going to eliminate fake news by making that same news true! The ariticle states, "We take this problem very seriously, and I want our users to be confident that the stories they see on Facebook are either true already or will be very soon," said Zuckerberg. We know that this information is completely false because it is comedic. Imagine if someone was narrowminded enough to take this information as truth.
