Fake News - What the real owners of the country ...

One start point to understanding fake news is by Facebook's newsfeed as anonymous writers could, in the past, post virtually anything and, because FB has 2 billion users, this crap would get around to various parties all over the world within a blink of an eye. With luck, this nonsense involving Facebook will change but what people often forget about is the fact FN has been around for a long, long time. Think Yellow Journalism, William Randolph Hearst and the Sinking of the Maine as US examples of same writ large.

Frederic Remington, an artist hired by Hearst to provide illustrations to accompany a series of articles on the Cuban Revolution, soon became bored with seemingly peaceful Cuba and wired Hearst in January 1897:

"Everything is quiet. There is no trouble. There will be no war. I wish to return." To which Hearst's alleged[6] reply was: "Please remain. You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war." [7]

 How to spot it.

In closing ...

Critical Thinking anyone? G.C., RIP.
