The correct answer to this open question is the following.
My opinion about this fake news is the following.
As ridiculous as it sounds, people are so immersed in social media these days and have lost the capacity to discern the good from the bad from the ugly.
It is incredible the number of news, fake news, and "in-between news" that daily appear in social media, and that news are taken as valid, knowing that social media is not a reliable source of information. Everybody can post what they want and it could go viral. That is not a big risk, but great danger.
The thing is that people are giving their power of discernment away and is fascinated with sensationalism, They like drama, and the more they get, the more they like and demand.
