Fake news can be a general term for anything that is presented
to an audience that is fabricated to serve the author’s purpose. This phenomenon is
not reserved just to news posts; falsifying anything to an audience can also be
considered fake news. For example, McDonald's has been subject to more shutdowns
recently because the Kansas City Health Department found out that many franchises were using “fake ServSafe certificates for managers, rather than having
them get trained on food safety.” KMBC reports that “more than 326 employees
needed training” after these fake documents were found. Faking these certifications
not only puts the lives of employees at risk, but also risks the lives of the customers
who can only hope their food is handled safely.
