News that ‘the crash that killed Tucker Carlson was no accident’ was no mistake … it was fake

In a story that encapsulates just how reckless social media can be in disseminating fake news — and how gullible people can be — a false report that Fox News’ Tucker Carlson was killed in a car crash swept across Facebook.

A fake news site claimed Tucker “succumbed to his injuries and died overnight after being hit head-on while driving home,” according to The Inquisitr.

…and the death hoax was shared on Facebook more than 16K times overall.

Sounds like a threat to me.

Everybody knows Tucker rides the subway.

[Enlightened1]

I think that would be pretty easy to disprove when he shows up for work to do a show.

Let the free market and not government burecrats decide what is fake news.

We do not need them like a parent telling us what is real and what is fake.

Government needs to be more concerned with how they are spending tax dollars, than trying to hen peck everyone on what is truth.

Lefty wanking material garbage.

Reports of the demise of Tucker Carlson may have been greatly exaggerated.

I want to see the obituary. Not to prove his death now, but years in the future, as that would mean that I shall have lived to be a very old person.

Meanwhile, Paul McCartney is still dead.

Here’s another truth for you all...

The Walrus was Paul

[DIRTYSECRET]

Of course Paul is Dead. Have you ever listened to a Wings album?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

So’s Elvis.

Reckless social media?

What about the democrat network media pushing Trump was colluding with Russians, who won the election for him and Trump is possibly a Russian spy, bit?

Never, Uncle Albert

16k shares on social media is nothing compared to the “lie on purpose in our first story coverage then issue a stealth retraction/correction later” tactic that the msm, both print and broadcast, use constantly.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if that “false news” about Tucker Carlson is investigated fully, the usual suspects on the left and their media lap dogs are behind it in an effort to spread the meme that only the old msm can be trusted.

luaP deirub I

More wishful thinking by the left. It’s all they’ve got.

[Impala64ssa]

I remember. It was started by Roby Younge, a DJ at WABC in NYC. He was summarily fired but the rumor of McCartney's death took off like wildfire. Rival station WMCA, in an attempt to boost their ratings before ending their top-40 format tried to capitalize on this fiasco

[FreedomStar3028]

That’s exactly what it is too.

Once conservative voices start just disappearing with no explanation we know. I’d say if 2 just up and disappear, that’s it. It’s on.

Has a Special Double Secret Prosecutor been hired to investigate Trump's involvement in Tucker's fake death?

Ed

And Generalissimo Francisco Franco!
