Especially on Facebook. And it comes from both sides. Supposed quotes from politicians and others, "facts" that arent remotely believable after the first read, etc.
I call out my friends on it constantly. It only takes a couple minutes to find out if someone actually said something.

And now that you can put famous peoples faces on other bodies in videos, who knows where that will lead? "I saw the video" used to be a pretty good point. "They" are already doing it with stars faces in porn videos.

though Krugman should have provided explanation for the many who won't open the link.

It's certainly in no way contradicted by the article, which is actually quite kind. Although it refers to concerns about possible anti-immigrant, anti- free trade views, my biggest concerns, not mentioned at all, would be bad, very untrustworthy character, lack of ethics, and terrible judgment.

Anyway, we all knew back when they were getting hired on that it would end up this way for most. Many weren't even C-listers to begin with, just unqualified people who saw opportunities to leap far glam jobs far above their level and went for them.

Is it discrimination against the morally challenged?

Poor abused mafia wannabes, honest folk want nothing to do with them.

Actually we’re concerned people would think that was a real ad. People are the problem not the internet.
