I read that article and had no indication it was fake,

seriously who looks at website banners?
...anyone even SLIGHTLY concerned with what they waste their time reading/believing.

If you didn't even wonder if what you were reading was fake and you didn't even care who wrote it then you are shamefully gullible too. Would you just assume you read it on CNN or something because you don't care about the banner? The writing was so freakin' STUPID I'd be embarrassed to have taken it at face value.

The very first line screamed "most likely fake." A professional news writer who doesn't use a comma for [City], [State] and puts periods between the letters of an abbreviated state? You didn't wonder how they knew so much without ever claiming to have talked to the kids or reviewed their statement to the police? Even ignoring the embarrassingly bad comma splices and awkwardly inserted "sounds more newsie" words, that's not how real news is written. Hell, even the last line makes it beyond obvious: "Source: YouTube"

from the pic of the banner i still have no clue why that would mean the site is a fake news site.

Are you serious? Tell me: what makes it seem legit to you? What belongs? What doesn't belong? Why? I already spelled it out, so it's not some big mystery.


Such real! Much believe!

posting an image a second time isn't going to change anything.
I didn't just post the image a second time. I informed you that I spelled it out before because aparantly it went over your head. I also asked questions about the image and then edited it in for reference. Look at it and answer them.

I gave you simple questions to answer along with the image to reference with those questions. Are you refusing to answer them? I guess you don't really care to know then.

to answer what? you are claiming it is obviously a fake news site, i said nothing about that banner looked fake to me. then you ask me to say to you why the site looks legit and what belongs.

i never said it looks legit or said what belongs - i said it doesn't look fake from the banner.

I'm waiting to tell me he gets all his real news from FOX and CNN.

But seriously, if you've read any amount of internet journalism it sucks. You come to expect tons of editing mistakes, wrong information, etc. I glossed over the article, I did not read every sentence. I just wanted to know why he was killed. I mostly read the comments down below the article to see the reactions because my interest lies more with the current racial climate (which were just as I suspected). The other day I also read an article about a kid getting hit by a car due to running out into the street playing Pokemon Go. I have no idea now if that was a real article or not, but the 2 articles both seem completely in the realm of possibility.

At the end of the day, I don't care that much...or I probably would have researched it more. What is more disturbing though is your attitude.

i never said it looks legit or said what belongs - i said it doesn't look fake from the banner.
...which means that you ARE saying that the things you see at the banner belong on a legit news site in your mind.

Yeah. I, don't believe that. Now you're just playing dumb.

Wanting to know "why" before wanting to know "if" is exactly the problem. It's why we have gullible people getting outraged and killing innocent police over a "racial" issue that didn't exist, and by your own damning statements you are contributing. You should be ashamed.

Friends and I have been playing ingress for a while now, our kids think we are clairvoyant because we know where every shop and gym is without ever looking at phone.
