There has been so much in the news today about fake news.  The evening news spends the first five minutes explaining over and over about the Russian hack on Facebook and how it affected our election.  Megan Kelly, who I can't stand, recently interviewed Vladimir Putin, asking about Russia's involvement in our election.  There is about a three second timeline where a wry little smile comes across his face which validates he was fully aware what his country's intent was.
     As much as I use the internet as a source for information, it makes it very hard to believe some of the stories that come across as true.  I'm not sure how we got to this point, but the good old newspaper is held accountable when information is presented incorrectly.  How can the internet get away with it?  In my opinion, our laws are slow to keep up with the pace of internet reporting.  Some are obvious when you read about Jesus was found wandering in the desert or mother delivers baby alien.  Although the National Enquirer somehow sells newspapers with this type of crap in it.  As long as people continue to support it, resources make money and continue to make things up.  You know the saying, "If you don't like what's on tv, turn the channel?" The same holds true for the internet.  I use the website Snopes to debunk what I refer to as tabloids of junk.
     Another website I refer to is Reuters.  There are so many liberal and conservative news feeds in the United States that have to extend their opinion instead of staying neutral, I prefer to use a London news company to get my information.
     I know I'm at that age where people call me dated, but I can remember when news people used integrity and the truth in their reporting.  Maybe because of my age, I call b***s*** and am one of those people who won't refer back to a source when I don't trust it or they give me reason to question it's validity.
