<div class = "text-justify">Social Media has been used in many ways aside from its main purpose which is communication, entertainment and a way to socialize and interact with new people online. It became a very influential platform throughout the years and has dictated us which place to visit for vacations, which restaurants to try for eat outs, which trendy clothes to wear, etc. Most of us allowed it to fill a big part of our lives. That's why it's also been used by other people for their own selfish intentions. </p></div>
<br>
<div class = "text-justify">The rise of fake news has been an alarming issue ever since. There are two sides of a coin in every issue and fake news will make you lean only on one side by providing biased and misleading contents. It will make you believe on lies and even influence you to spread it among your friends. Most of the time, fake news were made to destroy the reputation of a well-known public figure. These news were fabricated by their opponents to bring them down. It's a dirty tactic and an unfair move, definitely.</div>
<br>
<div class = "text-justify">Do not let these fake news fool you. Not all you see on the internet are true. You can't always believe on what you see. News were supposed to simply inform you on what's happening. There shouldn't be any other hidden motives. A news article made by a professional and well-dignified writer is straightforward, informative and has gone through intensive research. It is important that the news you read or see are reliable and will keep you updated on current events, not make you believe on lies.</div>
<br>
<div class = "text-justify">When you read a news article on the internet, it is important to look at the site. Is it well-known and reliable or not? But that's not enough. Just because it's from a well-known site doesn't necessarily imply that it's already a news that you can be trusted. Look beneath the words, you'd know if the news you're reading is unbiased or not. Be a smart reader. Don't just digest the informations you're reading. Be a critic and question every details of the news. Is it believable? Or maybe too exaggerated to actually happen in real life? Are the negative situations stated on the news really that bad or were they just magnified to fool readers?</div>
<br>
<div class = "text-justify">If you're not convinced with the news that you're reading, feel free to make your own research. Look at similar articles and compare it. Furthermore, when you're not too familiar with the issue, research further. Make use of Google and other sources of information. It's good if you want to keep yourself updated with the latest news. But make sure that you are updated with "real" news. </div> <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : [https://millenialwanderer.com] </em><hr/></center>
