After reviewing Module 4, identify a fake news article from a reputable news agency. Write a one page analysis fact checking the misleading article to explain its misframing, cherry picking or lack of logic and evidence.
Provide a two source annotated bibliography to support your analysis along with a citation for the fake news article.
Do not present satirical articles from The Onion or articles that have already been debunked by Snopes.
One should find ones own news article and explain why it is misleading. In addition to news articles, one can also critique social media posts- anything aspiring to the veneer of objectivity.
Do not write generally about the topic of fake news. You need to find your own example from your own daily media consumption.
Do not Google the phrase fake news as liars rarely advertise their mendacity. Also refrain from indulging confirmation bias, sacrosanct egoism, or false binaries.
The article you critique does not need to be entirely false; your analysis should discuss the grey areas in the articles argument and evidence.
Most articles will contain elements of truth as well as some combination of ad hominem, hyperbole, deliberate mischaracterization, sensationalism, question begging, cherry picking, appeals to novelty, pathos, faulty reasoning, or unsubstantiated claims.
