Yesterday we found out that Joan rivers died and then someone put out on twitter that Betty White died with turned out to be a very poor hoax . I saw the headline on Facebook and then read further into the story and found out she is alive and well.
Just proves you can't believe all you read on F B .
I almost got caught with this lie

I remember this story the most.

Jeff Goldblum then appeared on a talkshow (probably larry king or letterman) just as the host showed the Australian news reader pronouncing him dead. I think he said something along the lines of "The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated," while laughing his head off.

Things mixed up

I noticed the News alerts I received were very vague and contradictory. At one point NBC News pulled everything relating to it from their website, all the links previously issued went nowhere. This became a race to see who had the report first, where it should have been a race to get the facts right before issuing a news bulletins.


I went outside once. The graphics weren' that great.

The mainstream media has reported as dead incorrectly

James Brady, Gabrielle Giffords, Gary Coleman, Abe Vigoda to name a few.
