Fake News
From the definition, fake news is false or misleading information purported as authentic news. Fake news aims to damage the reputation of an individual or entity (Campbell et al. 2).

Social media companies, advertising companies, businesses, and the government are primarily responsible for managing fake news. In the journal, fact-checking President Trump's 'fake news awards, different fake news awards recipients were fake news. First, ABC News's Brian Ross's information is real fake news. Although Ross argues that he got his time wrong, he would have verified the kind of information he had before sharing it with the public (Kessler). Media houses are the liberty to verify the information they share with the general public. The action taken by ABC News to suspend Ross for his serious mistakes indicate the information was fake and misleading. Even though ABC News corrected the error, people had already consumed the wrong information, and some might have created a different perspective on the matter. Hence, Brian Ross's award on fake news recipients is right.

Other media houses, such as the wall street journal and NBC news, reported that CNN had gotten it wrong and showed CNN was reporting fake news. Therefore, their reword on fake news was authentic.
