Find a current article from anywhere that you think is "Fake News." (Post a link to it here.) Then write a paragraph answering the following questions: • What persuasive strategies or fallacies do you think were used to make the news seem to be true? • What kind of details do you think were left out? • Who is the audience for this news story? • Why would this audience be more likely to believe this story?
