I fell for some click bait this morning that Clint Eastwood had died, and in my half-awake state, shared it on. Not 5 min later I discovered I had been duped, and was reminded why you should fact-check everything these days.
the man is 89 so it would be reasonable to fall for it. sad thing is there was one person out there that had nothing better to do than make that up and post it just to see if it would spread... just out of what? boredom?
I saw one not long ago that Michael j fox died from complications from his Parkinson's and for a moment I believed it as well but did a check on CNN and there was no mention so I figured another loser started a rumor for shits and giggles. weird times we live in.
