Citation:Nate Pressner. “you’re being manipulated and don’t even know it.” YouTube, uploaded by TEDx Talks, March 7 2019, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKMTVRu5Guk&ab_channel=TEDxTalks 

Summary: Based on what I listened from this ted talk Nate talked about fake news and the sources we are receiving those news from. He explained that there are the obvious fake news like he said “You see a shark in the Highway in Kansas after a storm” that is an obvious fake news. Also there are such television shows like jimmy falcons that those are not reliable news shows those are comedy shows. Some people really understand how to separate the fake ones and the real news but media is working in such a way that sometimes you do not have your guard to define the difference. For instance you come home after a hard day at work and you just want to sit on your coach and relax. You open the television and you see a for instance Jimmy falcons show he is not a reliable news source but you are relaxed you have your guard down and you just listen to him talking. They are seeding into you fake news without realizing it. Also he mentioned that in the past people were using newspapers because that was the only source of news. After newspaper were replaced by CNN and BBC but now after in 2020 people are using YouTube as their news source, and YouTube isn’t the best reliable source.

Reflection: After listening to the speech everything was interesting on how he said things. I liked how at the end of his speech he gave suggestion on how to resolve the problem we have with the influence of the media so and how he explained on how people really believe things. I never thought of comedian shows and entertaining shows that they spread fake news.
