Acts 24
Everyone here is most likely, somewhat familiar with the term: ''FAKE NEWS.''
This phrase, ''FAKE NEWS,'' has become a common phrase used by many people-and they use it as a way of defending themselves against half-truths and whole-lies.
Many people may assume that this term or idea originated in American politics, but believe it or not, FAKE NEWS has been around for a long time.
