I think everywhere you can find fake news,you just have to realize ,that the respective news is not true and switch to other site.

A lot of bloggers are using clickbait to bring visitors on their site. They might get traffic in the beginning, however, in the long run their ranking will drop.

I don't rely on a random blog for information. When I want information I usually go to Wikipedia.

same with me, and also wity news, I dont rely on blogs, i like it more to watch on tv networks to make
sure that the news are real.

That is the sad part of it. I hope that those who do blogging has the integrity of doing their work for real. We never can't judge anyone on this but there are circumstances that led us to say that they can be the source of fake news. But i still believe that is not generally speaking.

Many bloggers resort to clickbait to attract readers. Clickbait means having misleading title and content. If you post Brad Pitt died, a lot of people will click the title, however, the article mentions a boy name Brad Pitt died.

[fistsworn]

Yes, then spread through Social Media, but I'm kind of impressed actually. The writter is making some mullah of the gulible people that share mostly based on the title, spread that to people that will actually read.



Maybe click some ads

Bloggers try all sort of tactics to generate views and one of them is faking news. On my site, I do not allow fake news.

[ahmedo24]

Since the major aim of most bloggers is to generate traffics and make money, they don't really mind if the source is authentic or not especially if it a story that catch attention easily

[jackchun]

I think make money without cost is the major reason of fake news in blog

[Rational Mind]

In the recent times I have been deleting a lot of contents on my website because of authenticity issues. Some users are publishing fake news in order to attract visitors.

The sad thing is most of those blogs are believed by Sheeple. Yup I just called people sheep because they buy propaganda very fast.

I think the media if not all nowadays is controlled by the government or some powerful private institutions which they decide what to and not to show especially in terms of paranormal events like ETs etc.. In terms of political views, there are tons of fake news. Create fictional events, exaggerate small things etc.. just to make the other party look bad. It is good to be a critical reader/viewer not just accepting all what the media or anyone told you to believe.

[augusta]

Not all blogs are. source of fake news,there Are creditable ones that carry only only true stories so we can group them same way

[nick254]

Yea blogs top the list. It also spreads like hell fire when other bloggers copy the same content. Most bloggers are also contentless, they will write some mediocre post to attract visitors and gain popularity.

[doo554]

I agree. Blogs are the leading source of unrealistic happenings. A blogger will literaly tell a lie to attract heavy traffic to his site. Maybe they are also stimulated by other third parties to do so.

It is not uncommon for a blogger to recommend a fraud online purchase store as legit and fast on delivery, only for you and many others to place an order and get nothing.

On the other hand some blogs are safe as they spread great reviews about any fraud.

[ruthmongare]

Actually this has also been an issue in my country
I understand people have to make living from blogging but remember you're reaching a crowd just stop spreading rumours.

[beriut]

That's why I really do not fully trust the media anyways, they are like paid to show only a portion of the truth and a domino effect would happen eventually. Social media or any individual will assume anything they want and create another story. Anyone can give their opinion and state it as a fact.

[Chameli]

many bloggers resort to black hat seo in order to gain traffic. Using misleading title or writing about fake or misleading topic are black hat seo tactics.

[arunima]

Not all blogs are fake news. I think that most of the people don't take blogs as reliable source of news. They trust more on reliable sources like news channels and newspapers. Any catchy news whether fake or true can go viral on net. One has to be careful about that.
