Sites to watch out for that contain fake news

CBS News posted on their website some of the many sites that leak fake news daily. Here a just a few..

CBS News states that "[70news.wordpress.com] said Trump had won the popular vote by 700,000 votes. He had not." 
These websites are in a category along with several others that is named as fake news. These sites cannot be trusted due to their high rate of false and fake news being posted at least daily. No matter how legit and trustworthy the sites look or sound, make sure to check your websites and sources before trusting the website.

"Faaaaaake Newwwws... Faaaaaake Newwwws... Faaaaaake Newwwws..."






What drew my attention to this was Chris Brown's post on Instagram. This was very questionable. Stated in this article, "The anchors were forced to read the so-called journalistic responsibility messages word for word by their employer, the conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest owner of television stations in the country." If several of new stations/medias are repeating the same thing you would think its fact checking but if anchors are just doing their "jobs" and forced to read word from word by their employer than who knows could be false/fake news. To me people will do anything to get a story, views, etc.
