UNIT 3 ISSUE10 Does Fake news mislead public

I believe that fake media misleads the public. Its invading the public in every way you can think of. It's so easy to mute and skip through commercials and different media but advertisers are doing everything possible to make sure we get their message. This goes back to the companies and gov't that pay to have certain things on the news. For example a local hospital paying a local newstation to show that they have a cure for some new type of cancer or somethign along the lines of that. I think fake news is bigger than it has ever been. The government controls what is put out which can be at time very misleading. After watching Meghan Mcain on the daily show and on fox news you see how even Meghan was promoting her book on 2 different shows they both had a script of questions. The daily show she was a little more free to speak but not on fox news. I think its wrong because I like to see informative truth. There are different ways that the news misleads us, it could be through humor or being soft spoken and welcoming like rachael maddow, or straight forward and blunt like Robert maddow.
I hate it both to be honest.
