Lee’s article “The global rise of “fake news” and the threat to democratic elections in the USA”
focuses on how “fake news” has negatively influenced the general public globally through the
means of social media. Through Lee’s research, he points out how fake news used in media
outlets and even political parties can change the viewpoint of a person to their benefit. Not only
that, but Lee’s research also references how “fake news” has even influenced voting in the 2016
US presidential election. Lee refers to a study between the number of pro-Trump vs. pro-Clinton
“fake news” where “115 fake stories to be pro-Trump were shared on Facebook 30m times while
pro-Clinton ones only amounted to 41 and were shared 7.6m times” (Lee, 2019). This study
demonstrates how many people have viewed these stories, which can influence the democratic
process of the US election. Even though 39 percent of people were very confident in determining
“fake news,” there is no natural way to differentiate between genuine and not. Seventy-seven
percent of adults who used the internet used social media in 2016, which was more significant
than any other presidential election beforehand. The surplus of users on social media has caused
a greater amount of fabrication of stories. This fabrication has led to a loss of trust towards
mainstream media and a more significant division between Republicans and Democrats. With no
natural way of identifying reliable information, it causes confusion, in turn, chaos. With no real
solution, Lee believes educating the general public with important information must come to
their conclusions to ensure the safety of democratic processes.
