Making News
For news to be fake it has to be made up. It is one thing to call a report fake, but another when you are doing the reporting.
It has been proven that the President himself was the bearer of fake news. Trump has shown he is strongly against it. But he has done the same himself.
Trump recently was in a feud with Sen. Bob Corker. Both men gave a different account of a conversation they had.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders usually comes out to justify what Trump said. At times she would try to put a twist on what he said. In most cases it isn’t a denial. Her job has proven very trying as she defends many of Trump’s actions.
Many of the scandals rocking the White House have proven true. Some haven’t at this point.
It would be devastating to stop the freedom of press.
To do such would take the society from being one of democracy. This can lead to a society more similar to that of dictatorship. Fake news or not, the Country needs freedom of press.
There is a way to handle fake news. Either deny it or prove otherwise. Every President that ever served the Country faced similar things.
They received both bad and good publicity. For many there wasn’t social media. They depended on interviews and briefings to speak to the Nation.
These days it is easier to reach an audience. The social media platforms have been very useful in this regard.
The President has found much success by using twitter. It is at a stage where most people are waiting for the next tweet.
So how fake is fake news. And how much of an issue should it be for the President?
