Media Bias and Fake News are some popular terms that we are familiar with in the Mass Media and Political world. Since my blog focuses on Media biases, I wanted to focus on the differences between fake news and media bias and how they are harmful to the political world. Many people believe that the two terms are the same when they are not. Fake News focuses on purposefully giving false information in order to gain engagement and attention. Media Bias is the deliberate favoritism towards a certain audience to push a partisan narrative. They misinterpret real news and facts. Fake News can include bias in it but the two terms are still extremely different. I believe it is important that people know the two terms in order to determine them in their news so they may receive the most accurate and important news. Too many outlets focus on engagements and too many people have begun to depend on social media apps to receive their news. It is important that readers know how to spot fake news and media bias in order to not be wrongly misinformed on current topics in today's politics.
