The post “Fake news: what’s behind the media frenzy” by Barbara presents the discussion around fake news. It revolves around the disinformation in social media that is very spread nowadays and its negative causes. According to Donald Trump, it is “the enemy of the American people,” and “any negative polls are fake news.” Disinformation affects people’s relations, leads to conflicts, and forms public view. That is why there is a strong necessity to fight for truth and credibility. However, the author calls the times of fake news not like a new post-truth era but as the phenomena that exist from the past times.
