Lo: To explore the validity to news stories and their origins 
Fake News- False information used to shape your views, opinions or ideas 

Fake news: 
" Garlic can cure coronavirus"
"AOC proposed a motorcycle ban" 
"A university banned the use of capital letters to avoid scaring students"
"Couple in California name baby with emojis" 
"gorilla learns how to knit" 

I think people write false information to get views and likes.
