That's the problem with the interwebs....any idiot with a keyboard can make a blog and spout any nonsense they want without repercussions. And, of course, people will not only believe what this nobody says, but they'll pass it on like it's written in stone.
*sigh* this is exactly why society right now is so screwed up. From nutbars promoting 9/11 conspiracies, to people heroizing the Boston bombers, people slandering virtually every politician out there, to doctoring photos to sell lies. Controversy sells. And mainstream media has fallen for the 'gotta get ratings' spell, and have throwing away all journalism ethics for ratings. Who cares if entire countries go nuts and riot over false info? It just means more great headlines and ratings.
Sorry for the rant, but the fallout and hatred after the trial in the US last week, and the fallout and crap hitting the interwebs regarding Alfredsson and Melynk has really soured me on media (and society).
So many people out there are taking the word of bloggers like gospel...it's scary! Any random person and spout whatever hatred and nonsense they want, and just sit back and watch the carnage.
