McDonald Pot-Smoking Center

Supposedly there are 15 restaurants in the state of Colorado that have transformed or plan to transform play areas into pot-smoking centers.  Sure why not care about the health of the children; just give them second hand smoke. McDonald's spokesman Khim Aday says he "can confirm 100 percent that this is not true." “He said the false story has circulated since 2015. The story said two Denver restaurants had completed the conversion, while the other 13 were planning completion renovations by the end of 2015. Legal recreational pot sales in Colorado began in 2014.” Wouldn’t this have been wonderful for those who smoke and have the munchies at the same time? Well make in 2030. When marijuana is not illegal and everyone is doing it.

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.

A Radioactive Deal?

A Radioactive Deal?

Day in and day out fake news and slanderous material is published about politics. During the 2016 presidential race the Democratic and Republican parties dug up every bit of dirt they could on the other party. One story about Hillary Clinton was that she sold Russia 20% of the U.S.’ uranium supply for donations to the Clinton Foundation. According to Snopes.com this story came from a book called “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, an exposé of alleged Clinton Foundation corruption written by Peter Schweizer”. Snopes states “A chapter in the book suggests that the Clinton family and Russia each may have benefited from a “pay-for-play” scheme while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, involving the transfer of U.S. uranium reserves to the new Russian owners of an international mining operation in exchange for $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation.” This is infact a fake article and Hillary is completely clean in this story.

Polish First Lady Declines Trump's Handshake

In this article, it begins to describe the trip that President Trump made to Warsaw, claiming that she declined to shake his hand. By reading the title, one is to assume that she flat out declined his handshake and refused to engage in one, but reading on further states otherwise. By claiming that she had "at first passed by Trump’s offer of a handshake", then going on in the next paragraph to say that she in fact shook Melania Trumps' hand first "before turning to shake the President’s hand after all". The title is very misleading and leads to a lack of credibility, and shows the bias towards the President.

Trump Takes Credit for Exposing Fake News As President

As Trump became our new President, he brought with it controversy, as many like to believe. Though we believe that as humans, we think it is easy to tell if a source is credible. Donald Trump likes to take the crown for the finder of fake news, and taking "credit for exposing 'fake news' for what it is", though he claims he does "respect some reporters in national news". We can't always take someones word for news sources when it comes to credibility due to bias, and the fact that our President never named the credible sources or non credible sources leads us to wonder where we should find our evidence next.
