I would like to know what the second group, that presented on Wednesday about fake news in the 2016 election, searched to find their fake news article?

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

The group who went on Friday, about alternative medicine, it was interesting to see an actual video of someone who is an antivaxxer and why she is one. It shows how ignorant people really are #RHUB100

@LegendFoster7 He also uses this title to have Trump viewed in a positive light, as if him and solely him, would be responsible for bringing peace to the Middle East with Christianity #RHUB100

Chokshi argues that people will accept fake news if it is an easier concept to understand than the truth. It is uses the rumor that links the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella to the onset of autism. This shows how fake news is spread. #RHUB100

“The Long and Brutal History of Fake News” by Jacob Soll expresses that fake news is not anything new and has been around. I want to sre why people believe fake news and how it can be prevented #RHUB100

@LuistroDani True, instead of taking the time to look up information, people make a guess, like during tests as the article says, when voting or making decisions #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

"Political Ignorance and Bombing Agrabah" by IIya Somin illustrates Andersen's claim on how people are ignorant and tend to believe only what they want to believe. This shows that people are skeptical of professionals and would rather form their own opinions on things #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

@LuistroDani I agree, I am more likely to believe someone who uses statistics in their works. It definitely helps to build credibility when stats are produced and cited #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

This makes the main idea that Americans believe in alternate realities, therefore causing the real life to be treated as fantasy, and vice versa, more believable. #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

Anderson uses evidence in the form of statistics to prove how many Americans believe in abstract concepts, or ideas that have not been proven factual, such as 1/3 of people believe global warming is made up, and 2/3 believe angels and demons exist on earth.

@LuistroDani Switek assumes the show is not logical but extends Shermer's argument by citing more sources disproving the ideas in Ancient Aliens. #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

In the articles, both authors agree that Ancient Aliens is illogical and is using fake news as a way to appeal to watchers and have them believe information that sounds cool versus factual information. #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

@IanGoodstein I agree with this statement, the movie quote that he uses is a clear indication that he is appealing to an older audience #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

Carr assumes that his audience has experienced the same thing that he has the to the internet, which in turn, makes them his intended audience #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

@ChrisAlvarez_3 I agree, but at the same time, some of us actually want new content and do not want to see bad remakes of movies when the original ones are much better. I think it's time to make new content #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

Anderson believes that since science and technology are constantly evolving, it is time that cultural trends evolve. The technology that we used in the '80s is completely different than it is now, but fashion and architecture is more or less the same #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

@LuistroDani It is crazy to think that social media is a way for people to write in today's world. Growing up with the internet, we never really think that back in pre-internet days, people would go years without writing. #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

Has there been a person who publicly opposed Clive Thompson's, even after reading Smarter Than You Think? #RHUB100

[Timia Drew @DrewTimia]

When Thompson expanded on how penicillin was discovered 32 years previous to when Fleming rediscovered it, it appeals to logos, showing that if information was spread through the internet, millions of deaths could've been prevented #RHUB100
