In an interesting twist in the world of fake news,
Jennifer Lopez posts inaccurate information on social media. In the hopes of
causing further awareness/backlash (depending on which camp you reside in)
Lopez posts an image of a small child crying while a woman is engaging with a
Border Patrol agent. Her pleas are as follows “This
is about basic human rights and decency. If you care about children, have
concern for the lack of transparency about this disastrous display, in full
view to the world in general, I encourage you first to get caught up on the
situation.” The post suggests another child being torn from parents as
they illegally enter the U.S. Later it is discovered that the El Salvadoran
family was never actually separated. What makes this post even more compelling
is that Time Magazine uses the little girl on the cover of it’s latest issue
with a title of “Welcome to America” Fake news works both ways, and this is a
prime example
