The Last Line of Denfense Online posted a story saying that there was a fire at Al Franken's Montana Ranch that killed six people. "The explosion, which appears to have originated in the basement, was heard nearly three miles away. The closest neighbor, a farm nearly a mile away, felt what they thought was a “mild earthquake. When first-responders arrived on site, they found a huge hole in the center of the ranch and bodies strewn about the surrounding area." The story is completely untrue and that was an easy give away because the publisher of the article was called "Loose Meat Hoagies". The name of the person who published this article was nowhere on the page. Also one of the quotes from the Police Chief of the area was "Meth. No doubt about it. Al's got some explaining to do". When interviewing an officer about a tragedy that supposedly killed six people, he wouldn't use a quote from I Love Lucy. Of course stories about tradegy are the ones that are most faked because anytime anyone gets on the internet and sees a picture of fire, or any natural disaster, we click that first.
