This fake news continue to circulate throughout various forms of print and nonprint media. Pew Research Center showed that for people under 30 online news is becoming more popular that TV news while those people under 50 get half of their news online and the rest on TV. Fake news is becoming viral because there are more and more people being involved in disseminating them. Sometimes it is easier and more convenient for people to share the fake news that to actually go over the information and evaluate for its reliability. One more factor that contributes to rapid dissemination of fake news is confirmation bias. People tent to accept information that confirms their beliefs and opinions. It is a sense of pleasure to share information they believe in even if it may not actually be truthful or valid People at our age or our generation tend to explore more because they know what is fake or not. Cause we know that within todays generation there are more and more fake news, cyberbullies, scammers and that causes harm to the society.
