Migrants destroying a car

On February 7th, 2018 an anti-Muslim news blogger said that Muslim migrants had destroyed a car in Italy, but in reality this never happened. The blogger posted a video of the migrants destroying the car, but it turns out that the video has been "on the internet for years" and the video shows no clear migrant violence (Media Matters). This kind of fake news can really hurt people because it makes it seem like all migrants are bad for the country they are in. It also makes it seem like all migrants are violent and it can cause migrants to not get jobs which can hurt the country they are in because the homeless and jobless population could rise.
