Fake News is everywhere these days.
But for whatever reason people still believe it...and it's almost impossible to get people to disbelieve even though it's proven false.
Even President Trump has been taken in by this stuff...
The HCQ fake News is just one example if this. It's continuing promotion is an example of the fallout from this Fake News. HCQ affects bacteria...not viruses and is effective as an aspirin is for the flu. But we still have people here who are trusting in this stuff as if there is a conspiracy to keep it from being known as the sole known cure.
One day during the time period that Obama was President, Syrian hackers gained control over a State Department website to say that the Whitehouse had been bombed and the President was injured. The stock market instantly collapsed until it was removed and fixed... none of the news agencies picked up on it and the market recovered...but it definitely took some puffing to set things straight.
Nowadays video editing is easier than ever. And video trickery is being employed in this delivery of fake news.
Making people appear places they never went saying things they never said.
It's to the point that you can not believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.
How can we know what is true?
