[ahlam1399]

DAVOS: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said misinformation or fake news has long been the component of information warfare and it can have dangerous consequences, Geo News reported.While talking Wednesday about the issue at a session titled ?fake news versus real politics? at the World Economic Forum, Bilawal said fake news gained prominence at the time of US presidential elections. He said fake news is going to stay around for ages, but it is the people who should educate and empower themselves in order to be updated with the correct information. Politicians use the term to demonise the press, but for credible news one could look up to non-traditional actors who can be a reliable source, he added. Fake news is said to be US President Donald Trump?s favourite term. A few days ago he tweeted about announcing awards of the most dishonest and corrupt media of the year. The term is also said to be 2017?s word of the year.
