The presentation on bigfoot definitely was a good example of how fake news and photoshop can persuade people into believing something that doesn’t even matter. #RHUB100

BLM is subject to so much hate b/c as the presenters described, some of the opposition doesn’t care enough to listen to what BLM is actually all about. stereotyping is also an issue because of assumptions such as people that follow and believe in BLM don’t want equality. #RWS100

Chokshi’s article “How to Fight Fake News” illustrates how many people are susceptible to tricks the media pulls to clickbait and generate viewers with fake news. #RHUB100

@DrewTimia Very true, it also showed that people believe that they are as knowledgeable as an expert, which is just ignorant and shouldn’t be the way people act. #RHUB100

"Political Ignorance and Bombing Agrabah" by IIya Somin clearly illustrates that American voters rely on flimsy conjectures to cast ballot votes and that lead to approximately 25% of American voters said they would support “bombing Agrabah” #RHUB100

@Julienelsonsdsu As well as noticing what Americans are doing, I believe it’s apparent that the author has a problem with Americans believing everything they want. #RHUB100

In Anderson’s article, he states that many Americans just believe whatever they want and are ignorant to what other people believe simply because “we Americans” believe our views are more right and important. #RHUB100

@katiesullsdsu I agree but when reading further into the authors claims it seems that he is almost trying to change what some people are saying by only adding snippets of what reliable sources were actually quoted saying. #RHUB100

Carr assumes the audience he is appealing to will understand his references and have lived through the same experiences as him. This shows that he is not appealing to a younger generation, but his own. #RHUB100

[Ian Goodstein RWS PROFILE @IanGoodstein]

Anderson is able to use context because he is aware of the audience that will be reading his article. Without knowing this, the author would struggle to be able to connect to his readers. #RHUB100

@JoshYeyna I completely agree, Clive Thompson didn’t only state this, but he used arguments such as Deborah Brandt’s study; that we were not writing for pleasure as much as we may think before the internet age. #RHUB100

[Ian Goodstein RWS PROFILE @IanGoodstein]

Clive Thompson’s statement, “Once thinking is public, connections take over.” is interesting to me because making thinking public originally seemed like such a vulnerable thing to me, b/c thoughts that aren’t fully formed ideas can get shot down so fast on the internet. #RHUB100

@karinarai6 Smartphones can be used as tools, but it is true to a point that many Americans use their cell phones too often, even with outside pressures from society and what is required to be done on them. #RHUB100

[Ian Goodstein RWS PROFILE @IanGoodstein]

A recent 60 minutes article claims that our brains are being hijacked by smartphones. This study that problematizes smartphone usage unfairly categorizes cell phone usage as many disabled people need their cell phones for survival. #RHUB100

@_BrandonNunez i agree, purposefully creating biased views and attempting to create a mob mentality towards political figures, celebrities, or every day people is unfair and is fake news. #RHUB100

Alex Jones, a person that pushes fake news and conspiracy theories, got into a heated argument with Marco Rubio. Jones’ many false claims and using his tone to make people believe things, have made him an “influential” figure https://t.co/CJN2wPMQYc
