“Fake News” is the latest thing that is disturbing social media as a lot of unverified publications come up with unverified stories. Sometimes they attribute particular story to a top media or publishing house, making everyone believe that the news is true.
The fake news has gone to such an extent that recently some media folks published few election-surveys in Karnataka state and attributed it to none other than the Indian wing of world famous news network, BBC. They stated that Congress-JDS is going to clean sweep Karnataka this time and that’s BBC says. What is the truth anyway?
“A fake survey on Karnataka polls has been circulating on Whats App and claims to be from BBC News. We’d like to make absolutely clear that it’s a #fake and does not come from the BBC. The BBC does not commission pre-election surveys in India. #fakenews” read a tweet from the official handle of BBC India.
Talking about the same, many say that political parties are employing guerilla teams that work in an ad-hoc manner on social media in order to promote some speculations. And today they are not even sparing a respected media house like BBC too.
