Trust is a Big Part of Misinformation (Freewrite Challenge)

We are all being fed of misinformation. Even mainstream media claiming themselves as legitimate are difficult to believe. For decades, they fed us with either misinformation or half-truths. Still, many people believe the media, and they were trusted just because they are legitimate media. At that part, trust is a big part of misinformation, believing everything they're fed of.

There's also a huge issue regarding a popular content creator, who's now getting criticized here in the Philippines. Words including "pinoy-baiting" gained popularity because of foreign content creators who are using the Philippines to gain virality online. Well, the said content creator above had issues from other countries. I was thinking if he is also being used for propaganda.

Social media is also a haven for fake news. Mostly, there are so much politics posted online, and politicians might be taking advantage of them. Even mainstream media pages are creating posts in social media in a misleading way.
