Laquintano and Vee Reading Response

What stuck with me in this article was the anxiety that “fake news” brings. It is ridiculous on what people will post these days. What’s even worse is what people will believe. I love how ridiculous it is when people believe things on social media platforms but don’t do their research and start telling everything and their mothers about it. I know so many people that do that and it drives me insane. These are the people that believe everything they see on Twitter and retweet it which causes more panic for other people. A benefit for having immigrant parents is having different sources of news from different countries. Especially what happened with Kim Jung Un and his fake death recently, the Korean news have been notifying the Korea about the situation calmly and correctly while the US has been blowing up the news with the confirmation of his death which brings panic to everyone. The worst is the Twitter culture. They will take anything and run with it. The amount of memes that were made of Kim Jung Un the second that news came out was insane. Obviously if he was gone it would bring some light into the whole North Korea thing but you shouldn’t be too quick to believe anything.
