However, some news media do not have credibility because they publish rumours. The goal of rumours making excitement for people and that is extremely negative. According to Pape.(tl),(2013)"People can then share it and comment on it, sometimes posting false information. Popular stories, for example, can reach more then 100,000 people. So you have to make sure the facts are correct".
