Deaf YouVideo became aware about 'Fake News' issues from left-wing or right-wing news media in the Deaf Community. Fake News is an oxymoron which lends itself to undermining the credibility of information and disinformation and media products containing independently verifiable facts on social media.
Why do Deaf people share and believe 'Fake News' sites as on Deaf Newspaper, DTV-DPAN.TV, Drumpf Daily, H3-World.TV, Sign1News, and The Daily Moth, which is based the alternative media of the American political left influencing the Deaf community. Here's how Fake News works with closed-captioning.
What is Fake News?
Fake News also known as junk news, pseudo-news, or hoax news is a form of news consisting of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional news media print and broadcast or online social media. Is Donald Trump correct when he says CNN, The New York Times, and other mainstream outlets report fake news? Commentator and bestselling author Andrew Klavan explains.

You’ve probably heard a lot of people recently screaming and yelling about fake news. Charges fly from all points on the political spectrum: this story is mistaken - it’s Fake News; that statement is incorrect - it’s fake news.
But to my mind, these arguments miss the point. Mainstream American news is all fake because the major news outlets are so consistently biased toward the left that whether any given story they report is factual or not, their overall reportage is essentially leftist propaganda.
You can complain about the right-wing slant of Fox News all you want, but left-wing ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN have, combined, almost ten times the viewers.
The chief journalist at ABC is former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos; the president of CBS News is David Rhodes, the brother of a former senior Obama staffer. Comcast, which owns NBC, is run by a major Democrat donor. Same for the leadership at CBS and Time Warner, which owns CNN.
Only seven percent of American journalists identify as Republican. And while a lot of news outlets forbid their reporters to donate to candidates, 96 percent of those who did donate last time out gave to Hillary Clinton.
These journalists claim that despite the fact they’re all Democrats, they can be objective. It just ain’t so. Psychologists have shown that when people associate almost exclusively with those who agree with them, they suffer from groupthink and confirmation bias and lose their ability to see events clearly.
Now, it’s not that these journalists are liars, exactly - it’s that their bias skews their reporting in very specific ways. Let me give you Andrew Klavan’s Three Rules of Mainstream Media Journalism. These can transform any story, whether it’s true or not, into Fake News... Read The Full Script.
Why Smart People Are More Likely To Believe Fake News:
Research shows that smart people are more susceptible to fake news and conspiracy theories - but why?
Did you hear about the couple who decided to name their daughter Brexit? Or the fact that the regions voting leave also happened to be the areas afflicted by mad cow disease? How about the statement that smartphone radiation is causing brain damage and widespread insanity?

All these claims are false. You might think that you’d have to be stupid to believe this kind of stuff, but this is a serious misunderstanding of the way the brain works. Psychological research shows that misinformation is cleverly designed to bypass careful analytical reasoning, meaning that it can easily slip under the radar of even the most intelligent and educated people. No one is completely immune. Indeed, there is now evidence that smarter people may sometimes be even more vulnerable to certain ideas, since their greater brainpower simply allows them to rationalise their (incorrect) beliefs. Fortunately, the research also offers us some strategies to overcome those biases.

Let’s begin by examining why some false claims stick. Various studies have demonstrated that many of us rarely give our full attention when reading new statements. Consider the following question, for instance: “How many animals did Moses take on to the Ark?” Norbert Schwarz at the University of Southern California has found that only around 12% of students answer correctly (none). (It was, of course, Noah’s Ark – not Moses’s.)
Particularly when a statement feels “fluent” (easy to process) and familiar, we tend not to focus on the details and instead go with the gist. Unfortunately, there are many simple ways that purveyors of misinformation can tweak the presentation of their claims to increase a statement’s fluency and familiarity.
One example is the use of imagery – photographs help us to visualise statements, which means they can be processed fluently – and therefore seem truer. We can see this with medical stories: people are more likely to believe a pseudoscientific claim if it has a brain scan alongside it.
.
Perhaps the most potent way of spreading misinformation is simple repetition; the more you hear an idea, the more likely you are to believe it to be true. That’s a serious problem when a small but vocal community - of climate change deniers, say - are presented as talking heads on TV and radio.
In these ways, we can begin to see how misinformation can be engineered to bypass logical thinking and critical questioning. But do intelligence and education protect us against false claims? The latest research shows it partly depends on your thinking style. Some people are “cognitive misers”, for instance: they may have a lot of brainpower that allows them to perform well in exams, but they don’t always apply it, using intuition and gut instinct rather than reflective, analytical thinking. This thinking style is commonly measured with a tool known as the “cognitive reflection test” using questions such as: “If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?” The correct answer is five, but many otherwise intelligent people say 100 - the more intuitive response...

Knowing How Fake News Preys On You, Can Help You Spot It.
Fake news is created with the goal of convincing your emotions to betray you.
What you need to look out for most during this election cycle is your own emotional bias. This is what leads us to share fake news without checking the facts first.

We have been researching the psychology of fake news for almost three years now, with the goal of finding out why people believe fake news and what each of us do to avoid falling for it ourselves. We have uncovered a few answers; one of the most important of which was recently detailed in a paper titled Reliance on Emotion Promotes Belief in Fake News.
Our conclusion is simple enough, but has major implications for our federal election: False news content often appeals to our emotions and, if we don't stop and question whether our feelings are valid, we are likely to believe (and share) claims that are misleading or just plain untrue.

Our evidence for this claim comes from multiple studies that were taken by a few thousand people.
In one study, we found that people who tend to be more emotional - put simply, people who have more feelings, both positive or negative - are more likely to believe fake news headlines. In fact, more emotional people are more likely to fall for fake news regardless of whether it is consistent or inconsistent with their political ideology... Read The Full Story on CBC News.
Deaf people become what it is today. There are various types of fake or misleading news we need to be aware of. Be careful not to consider an opinion to be fake news just because you disagree with it. Share this blog to your loved ones and friends to aware about 'Fake News'.
