Touchdown for the Media
In late January an article emerged saying that an NFL lawyer was found dead in his car in New York, but this turned out to be another fake news story. The suppososive story said that he told reporters that the NFL rigs the games for maximum profit. Politifact, one of the many websites to debunk this story said “We found no evidence that an NFL lawyer named Dan Goodes even exists, or that he was found dead in his BMW in Manhattan”. Additionally the picture used for the headline of the original story was of the the crime scene but this was taken from another murder story that had happened beforehand. Fortunately this was quickly disproved and people went back to their day to day lives.
