Now the growing controversy over fake news stories on social media platforms like facebook. 62 percent of americans say they get their news on social media according to pew research. Facebook is the worlds biggest social media platform. Now Mark Zuckerberg is under fire inside of his own company for not doing enough to keep phasing fake news stories aftermath of the election now he is vowing to do just that, crackdown on face fake new sites. Will we have your answers thing to donovan i want to start with where does this news come from and how do you discern if it is fake or real . It is being produced by people that have an agenda. The person who is creating these stories know that it is a lie and then they are distributing it through groups, people they know want to hear this message. These are people sympathetic with what they are trying to communicate. They know if they share this to a group if a group has maybe 1 Million People that feel the same way , they know that even if a small percentage of those people will share that or believe it that it is going to out 100 fake stories it becomes hard for people to actually find out what is real. It is interesting i think this intense political season really brought it to the forefront, but you said it is basic content marketing. We have seen fake news before about various Beauty Products or whatever you wanted to be. It looks like it is presented as a new story but it is not. Definitely. A goes down to content marketing. Believe or want to believe or have questions about, and then from the marketing perspective, you create the content and it answers those questions and then you distribute it where those people are. It is very simple concepts. This is something it is all about peoples beliefs. It is what people feel strongly about. They know they are ready have the emotional tie in to get people to share it. If people really want those stories, if some people really wanted those things to be true, just seeing it in print, just see, i have been telling you this. You are dialing it into their passion. How is that convert going to stop this only on facebook for him obviously . The first part is strictly completely fake stories. That is easier. That is where he says there is only one percent of contact that is fake stories content that is fake stories because they are coming from sites that dont exist or dont have a track reco the 2nd part that is most important is the halftruths and the strictly partisan content that is either way. It is you are pushing your ideology, whatever your ideology is. That is harder to control because they have already been accused of being partisan in censoring some things they were saying was not true. Is going to be a huge challenge and i think it is up to us as a society to start addressing i have people send stories to me like why are you covering this because it is fake news stories. If it is the first time you have seen it go find it 2 or 3 more times than it is real news. Now to some High School Ball wherever 83 teams already punched their tickets to the next round of playoffs.
