Worry About This 

     As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, along with fake, fake butter that claims it tastes like real butter, fake furs, fake genders, fake meat products, now we have fake news. 
    I’m not talking about skewing the facts to fit their own view of things or failing to get all the facts of a situation before spewing forth their stories to the public. That’s been going on for a very long time with some segments of the news industry. 
    What I’m talking about is this new quantum leap into the realm of just making something up and pretending that it’s news. So we are now, more so than ever, in the position of having to decipher if the ‘news’ we are bombarded with has any basis in fact, or not.

    In my opinion this is a good thing. Hopefully it will make people look more critically at all news and see if it smells legit, or if in fact it’s all fake, or partially fake. 
    The problem as I see is that there is a big segment of the population who will not take the time, or have the patience, or the faculties, to decipher factual news from the made-up or partially made-up news, and therefore end up believing anything they read or hear, and then basing their future opinions or actions on that skewed information.
