There is so much fake stuff on the Internet in any given week that we’ve grown tired of debunking it all. Fake Twitter fights. Fake pumpkin-spice products. Amazing viral video? Nope — a Jimmy Kimmel stunt!
So,
rather than take down each and every undeservedly viral story that
crosses our monitors each week, we’re rounding them all up in a quick,
once-a-week Friday debunk of fake photos, misleading headlines and bad
studies that you probably shouldn’t share over the weekend. Ready? Here’s what was fake on the Internet this week:
1. A Vermont pastor wasn’t sentenced to a year in prison for refusing to officiate a gay wedding. Several high-profile conservative commentators — including Fox News’s Shannon Bream — apparently fell for this latest hoax from serial mega-troll Paul Horner,
who should literally never be believed. (Pro tip: Horner always
includes his own name in all of his stories. So if you read a crazy news
item mentioning him, withhold your outraged tweets.)
