Do you think most people are fooled by fake news?

Absolutely!! A lot of it is a bit miss leading. This is what made me come to that conclusion: My sister was killed by a hit and run driver back in 2019 while crossing the street.

When the reporter was at the scene they showed a picture of a bent fence. My older sister and I were trying to figure out if my sister was thrown into the fence. When I finally spoke with a detective, I asked him was she thrown into the fence. He said no, that fence was recently bent. I ask why do the reporters keep showing it, he said that's the news for you. I was never big on watching the news, but now I don't watch it at all. I use to catch the weather - but I check the weather on my cell phone,

I flip through the daily news on multiple TV sites, and the internet. Most of the time, there is little difference in the details being reported. I suspect that those being impacted with "false news" are those who rely on Facebook and Twitter, etc. With the increase of AI, people need to be careful about what they consider as being the "truth".

I agree..

If its on the internet it does not have to be true!! Research is required..
