What logic for false news in media information?

Abstract

Feeling manipulated leads to an unwillingness to rely on official sources and consequently to give greater credit to media sources such as social networks, or to unofficial rumors. Such sources are generally scarcely informed, if not even dedicated to misinformation. If reference theories are considered, it may be noted that manipulation in journalism may occur in numerous ways: not providing news, providing too much news, mixing facts and opinions, providing unfounded news, etc. The public, especially in a democracy, should trust official media and the government, which should in their turn ensure proper reception and eliminate pockets of ignorance. In democratic states, news reports should differentiate between sources to allow the audience to compare them.
