You kick kittens and puppies for fun, don’t you?
So this is where we are as a society? Shitting on a Santa story cuz, “the facts don’t add up”? So what if it’s utter bollocks. Who cares if some of the details are fudged. It’s a sad little story about a dying boy. But noooooo, we, as a culture, in our unrelenting cynicism just HAVE to tear this down, because fuck the…
My point is if its a harmful misinformation story, yah, jump on it and correct that before it does harm. Something like this, I just don’t understand the hyper reaction to calling this fake.
Wasn’t Denzel Washington just talking about this, that the media is more worried about being first that it doesn’t matter if they were wrong. I’m not saying that the Santa Story isn’t fake, but looks like Gizmodo is quick to call it fake for the sake of. On another note, shouldn’t this story have stayed over in…

Let it warm people’s hearts until you know for sure if its fake. Instead you use it for your click bate nonsense of “I’m so smart I can totes tell this is fake cause people wont…
Um. The media says its fake without any proof. More so because he won’t give the name of the boy that died. I mean really? Why do you need the name at this time? So you can harass the already depressed parents by saying “Hey is this <insert name>? Is it true your kid died in santas arms?”. I don’t think its fake until…
There ya go news organizations, find your scruples and attempt to verify a heart warming story that gave people a positive feeling about the magic of Christmas giving comfort to a terminal child which turns out might be fake. The rest of the news like wars and corruption and our current president-elect?........yea…
yea, yea... we get it. This Fake News epidemic is getting out of hand. Something (read: Shut down Drudge and Breitbart) has to be done before the very construct of reality is shattered.
