Global media empires are now in the grey shades of fake news. News manufactured for propaganda. World leaders were the targets. Misleading, deceptive, hoaxes, misinformation, malicious, and fraudulent news are propagated in media. Still motives are political; via for business. “The onion scaling” model of news creation makes the world most misinformed. Right and freedom for information is clearly at stake. News manufactured in the hideous editorial factories for feeding the millions, who are out of the powerhouses of information verification.
Neologism in the media world is making targets from Donald Trump to Narendra Modi. From beef to bomb explosions, fake news is becoming the buzzword of the Journalism spectrum.
