Denzel Washington schools journalists everywhere with response to red carpet 'fake news' question

Summary:

Denzel Washington comes out to speak his mind regarding the recent outbreak of fake news stories. He has come up with his perception and theory of why such things are happening. He states that when one reads a news paper they are mis-informed, if they don't on the other hand, they are un-informed. 

Statistics:

Own view:

I believe that Denzel Washington's view on the fake news outbreak is true to a large extent. Institutions are seeing this platform as a competition to see who can publish the story 'first' rather than being factual and pure truthful information. The strive and goals that such businesses had was to provide society with information, however it has changed tremendously since then and is now more of a competitive field rather than a priority.
