What Is The News Of 1984 By George Orwell

Fake news. There are many different and contrasting news that go around from In an age where an audience of millions (on the Internet) is easily accessed, the quantity of information being produced has increased greatly-along with that, the quality and truthfulness of this information has become less reliable. The people feel like it is their right to talk and express what they feel in whatever way possible in different mediums because it is the first amendment .
