I have a feeling that it’s not all that difficult to trick the folks at HuffPo—a major reason so many of us no longer go there.

Wow. Now I’m doubting the veracity of Joe Kennedy’s expose on the link between vaccine preservatives and autism and the authenticity of many celebrity side-boob stories.

I shudder to think what they are if not side boobs.

Oh, the second story is real and it’s worth celebrating.
It’s just devastating to find out that tweets are generally not accurate news sources… especially from a guy who uses @DesJuanTheThug for his handle.
The HP guy could not do a SIMPLE search of this guys tweets to see he was just a total clown? Really?

He even tweeted NYPD to say “me and my bro need jobs and I see you guys have two new openings” after the two cops got shot.
This was his source? Fire his ass. Oh wait, those guys work for free don’t they?

Any bets this “Jesus Christo” is, in reality, Chuck Johnson?

This prank chain-jerking of media outlets
needs to happen about a hundred more times in short-order–
to get MSM and high-profile internet news outlets
to tighten up their knee-jerk regurgitation
of just about any horsesh^t that comes to them digitally.

News outlets are so desperate to get the first scoop that they run a story, ask questions later and then say oopsie sorry if it’s not accurate.

Nothing new under the sun.
Chuckie does have the persecution-complex-thing going on.

This has nothing to do with mode of conveyance and everything to do with being a lazy journalist. This sort of thing has been going on long before the Internet ever existed.
Sloppy journalism is nothing new. It’s not an internet thing, this has been going on forever. Reporter and editor to quick to believe what they’re hearing rather than checking their source.
Pretty funny. I want to see more of this to keep reporters and editors on their toes.
I’m not so sure it’s real. Further investigation is surely called for.

Perhaps a kind of Spanish Inquisition?
Nobody would expect that.
