Same player, same day, different information

In this post I am going to analyse two news that involves the same topic. Where is going to play the next football superstar Erling Haaland.
Both newspapers clearly defend an idea and a club, and this causes them to make fake news in many cases. Here we will analyse two news and I will post more examples so you can check that this is not the first time it happens, and it is not going to be the last one.
These are the two titles:

https://okdiario.com/diariomadridista/real-madrid/raiola-ya-juega-real-madrid-179004

Both titles involves the same things but gives a different ending. On one hand, in the "SPORT" article they say that Haaland is going to sign for Barcelona if Barcelona have the funds to do it, because Haaland wants to play for F.C Barcelona.

On the other hand, in "OKDIARIO"  thay say that Haaland's dream has been always play for Real Madrid, saying the completely opposite that SPORT is saying.

In my opinion I just see impossible for Barcelona to have enough funds to pay a transfer for Haaland and for paying his salary, so I don't believe SPORT's article.

Both articles are from the same day and what they do is to misrepresent the information by taking it to the side that interests your newspaper just for a few clicks and views, not caring about the credibility of the information they are exposing in the article.

This is happening today in most of the sports articles but it is also being found in articles that have nothing to do with sports causing a great fall in the credibility of journalism and therefore a resounding loss of quality, where it is much more important the clicks than the quality of the article.

Other front pages in other newspapers exposing fake information are easy to find. Here are some examples:

                              

To conclude with this article, I just want to say that do not trust everything you read and always keep in mind who is the media that gives you the information and what are their ideals.
