MDIA1002 Lecture
Fake News or just PR for a cause?
• Fake es: Made up, utterl deoid of realit
• Total Facebook Engagements for top 20 Election stories
- As the election got closer, the more fake news there was
- The lies started to out outweighed the reality
- Eg, The pope had endorsed Trump, Hillary Clinton was to be indicted
- Got peoples attention and thus were shared around, the process of sharing gives
the fake news validity
• Not fake ut a alteratie fat
- Fake news was significantly turned around
- Eg, Trumps own persecutory said that his inauguration had been the best
attended inauguration in US presidential history Journalists showed photos of
Trups ad Oaas iauguratio (less people shoed up at Trumps)
Trumps own office gave fake news about how many people attended
- Trumps office denied it being fake but instead an alternative fact
- Youtube Video (Meet the Press)
+ Kellyanne Conway: Good at avoiding the question and turning the whole
interview aroud, driig iterieers ad, eplaied hat is ad ist a fat
+ Fake news may not be a fact but may not be a lie but may just be an
alternative fact
+ The otio of hats fake gets haged
• The edia is just a guilt
- They turn it back on the media and say they are just as capable of promulgating
fake facts
- Using anonymous sources, wrong angles
- Eg, Trup tured aroud ad said Eerthig the edia does is fake
• Redefining fake news
- Not as es deoid of realit
but all media = the enemy of the
people because you cant trust
them
- When people are talking about
fake news, they are not talking
about lies. They are talking about
the general media
