These numbers are very subjective. As mentioned previously, the data poll is extremely small. Everyone is exposed to fake news. You cannot truly rely on this information as it only consists of 1,500 people.

There is no mention of how the survey was conducted, or by whom it was conducted. All it mentions is that it was launched by this specific website.

The entire poll is talking about fake news, but how much credibility does this "Truthguard" website have?
The political and social climate in America has changed drastically in the past few years.
Especially in the political world, it is not uncommon for people to try to create with a fake story for an individual to receive bad press.
In addition, these newspapers and magazines that are creating misinformation under the guise of legitimate journalism must be held to task.
What constitute between newspaper/magazines versus "legitimate journalism." There are some stories in newspapers and magazines that are 100% accurate.

We have witnessed a marked increase in the proliferation of fake news, which in turn, threatens the First Amendment of the Constitution.
Fake news is much more of a problem due to different social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Increasingly, the distribution of fake news has been used as tactic to spread misinformation, often resulting in confusion and fear.
While this article was written in 2019, the idea of fake news is still very much prevalent today. It does have an affect on people no matter what "genre" that news is from. Whether that be politics or Hollywood insider news.
Adams is also currently focused on co-hosting the next season of The Bachelorette alongside fellow show alum Kaitlyn Bristowe. The two are set to take over duties for the time being from longtime host Chris Harrison.

"So yes, ironically, it was my right hand in my Story, but I also just got my ring sent in to be cleaned and sized, finally — it's been, like, six months since I've had it. So I should have it again maybe tomorrow or Wednesday," the reality star concluded. "Everything is good on this forefront. Thank you so much for being concerned, but we're good. We're chillin'."
It is so sad to see that people have to justify everything that the public sees. People value this kind of information because they watched Tayshia and Zac's relationship unfold on national television.
The former Bachelorette star put rumors to rest that she and her fiancé had split after fans noticed that she didn't appear to be wearing her engagement ring on social media recently.
People on the internet are always trying to start rumors regarding influencer's relationships. They feel like they deserve to have answers to every little aspect of their relationship since it is public, however, there are still aspects that should be very private
