How Your Fake News Gets Made - Forbes

“Pseudo-news dominates the Web.”

This article articulates well the inherent problem with internet news and gossip. When your primary purpose is to make people to click on headlines, you naturally make the headline as sensational as possible, then back into the truth of the story any way you can. More often than not, you don’t end up getting there.

Here’s a fun game to play. Whenever you see a headline on HuffPo that asks a question, try to answer the question it asks after you click the link. The answer is almost always either “no” or “not really.”

“JENNIFER ANISTON: PREGNANT?”
“ROMNEY RACIST AT RECENT RALLY?”
“COULD ORANGES PREVENT CANCER?”

I wonder where they’ll redirect the traffic to when they shut down the site.
