For English, we moved on to looking at sites and throughout that, we also learned the context of Factual and Satirical meanings. We had learned the basic technique to tell the articles apart whether they were fake or real or in other cases, Factual or Satirical. We looked into 8 different articles from 4 different countries: New Zealand, Australia, the US & the UK. We were then given the task to choose 2 articles from the same country and resemble them and how much of a difference they are apart.
I chose 2 articles from the UK(United Kingdom), it was time to compare these to articles from one another and see if there was any evidence of telling which is Factual or Satirical. I put both websites beside each other and started comparing them and what makes them believable or not believable.
Already I could tell that the Daily Mail is a secure website to explore, which goes the same as the Daily Mash. But to tell the difference I looked into more of the content both sites put up, Daily Mail has content that includes good use of words and when searching up the content it occurs within seconds, also noticing that at the very bottom of the Daily Mail it tells who or which company it was published by and by searching that company that it was published by it is easier to tell whether the company is safe.
For the Daily Mash, you can straight away tell that it is Satirical from the content is being posted. The usage of words this site uses is pretty bad, the articles published are very pointless and not relevant to what the site is about. The Daily Mail is Factual while the Daily Mash is Satirical.
