For Fake News "The End Is Near"
According to a survey by the Monmouth University Polling Institute, the vast majority of Americans believe that mainstream media outlets report “fake news.”

It should not be shocking to anyone that a majority of the American public believe that traditional media outlets engage in reporting fake news and that outside sources are actively trying to plant fake stories in the mainstream media.

When it comes to the meaning of “fake news,” a majority believe that it involves editorial decisions as well as inaccurate reporting.

Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are partly to blame for the spread of fake news due to their algorithms screening out Conservative points of view.
