Why Do People Listen to Lies?



In March 2018, NBC News came out with an article saying that “Lies spread faster on social media that truth”. When reading this I was thinking to myself about how true that is. People often want drama to believe things, even when it is considering important information. The article also stated that “People are quicker to repeat something that’s wrong than something that’s true”. I was astonished to read that because as a young adult, people do that everyday on my feed. I realized that some people enjoy fake news for some odd reason. Maybe they like the gossip and lies. What do you think about this? Are you quick to repeat a lie or rumor?
