The media this week ran an unverified story about a Texas man dying from the coronavirus after allegedly attending a “COVID Party.”
The entire story is based on one source, lacks details, and serious corroboration but this did not stop it from hitting national headlines.

ABC’s “Good Morning America,” The Guardian, the National Post, and Seattle Times, are among those who picked up the story and ran with it, with no scrutiny.
