Thus, this may made some ethical dilemmas worse due to remarks and opinions posted.
2. How could the limitations explored in one of the articles be controlled?
In articles, it may be difficult for audiences to distinguish between credible websites and non-credible news websites. Thus, reporters / journalists should check for misinformation or sensitive remarks or opinions made.
3. What are some responsibilities of discerning readers?
Discerning readers should verify all information and make sure that opinions are distinguished from facts before acknowledging or taking the information stated seriously.
