Caught in Lies


When reading articles or any pieces of writing there has always been times when I wondered if they had been factually incorrect or fabricated, when reading a piece of writing everyone should take into consideration whether it is believable or not. For example, the person who is reading the article could have their job on the line, the article could be suggesting whether next year or a few months down the road the job could be put on hold and that person would be thinking that they are going to loose there job, when in actuality it could be a false article.

I was surprised reading these articles and finding out they were fabricated news. For the article "Jimmy's World" I was especially surprised to find out that someone would go to the trouble of making up such a catastrophic lie just to get recognized more.

Yes I agree with Shafer's assertion, people who want that publicity would do anything to get there, so for the people that do not have the talent or the ability to get a good story they will go to a great extent to get that good story but soon the story's will fall out.

Given what Shafer said, I think that colleges and universities should take into consideration that each student should each have a great deal of ability towards articles and story's, each student should have the talent to write story's without having to lie or make up fabricated news.

A newspaper ombudsman is a great way to find out whether an article or story is factually incorrect or fabricated, it is also a great way to let readers know that there is someone out there that will insure of what you are reading is true or not.
