Fake news is coming to an all time high and growing rapidly. They describe fake news as “fabricated information that mimics news media content in form but not in organizational process or intent”. Fake news lacks credibility and accuracy. Fake news overlaps with many other information disorders. Recently fake news has been drawing in political information. Some people prefer the name false news instead of fake news. Fake news is becoming more and more prominent and having a major impact on our society. The average American comes in contact with one to three examples of false news per month and is rapidly increasing. False news information is retweeted way not often than true news.
