These made favorable news about Donald Trump, but they made a malicious rumor about Hillary Clinton. All news is absurd but it is so even more provocative enough to spur curiosity.

“We are going through this period of time right here where unfortunately some of the people that are winning are the people that spend their time trying to get the most clicks, not tell the most truth.”

“It’s killing people’s minds in a way.”

“All of us technology companies need to create some tools that help diminish the volume of fake news,” he said

Also it is hard to find out news producer. Even if you find out them, it is hard to punish. If there are no provisions of punishment in their countries, this affair is not the crime itself. So websites like ‘Factcheck’, Politifact,‘Snopes.com’ are created fast to verify the facts.

People see only things that they want to see.  ‘Obedience to Authority’ also play a role in wrong choice. It is easy to follow media than to verify.

In order that all men may be taught to speak the truth, it is necessary that all likewise should learn to hear it. – Samuel Johnson
