FAKE NEWS

Scrolling through every social media outlet a fake news link always pops up. If its from the election to celebrities to even whats going on in the world; people are always creating websites sharing made up information.

I know that Kendall Jenner was criticized the most because she was the big name in the advertisement but I believe the other actors be held accountable too. Photo by Jazzybell  Via Wikimedia Commons
