FOX REPORTS KANYE WEST AS DEAD
THE FACTS
An internet hoax claimed Kanye West had been killed in a fatal car crash.
THE SPIN
As legend had it, Kanye West was killed in a car crash involving two luxury vehicles.
Via Necole Bitchie:
An LAPD officer “reportedly” witnessed the wreck and saw a red Ferrari and a white Porsche “spinning out of control. The Ferrari (driven by West) hit the curb and then collided with a pole while the Porsche sped away.” Two people were supposedly arrested and detained by police.
Whoever made that up ought to look into taking a creative writing class.
The above photo prompted fear and fury among all who saw it this week. I don’t get why people start death rumors about people, but thankfully fate rather than Photoshop still determines who lives and dies.
And like a good girlfriend, Amber Rose took to Twitter to steeze on these heathens trying to murder her man via Twitter Trending Topic.
Ms. Rose wrote:
“This RIP KanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much. Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trending topic. It’s totally disrespectful to make up a story like this. We are all human and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. U wouldn’t want someone to say that about u. Or someone u love it’s not funny.
I’ll always ride for my man!!!! I’m bout to get off here and still RIDE for him. LITERALLY.”
Well, I guess the girl knows how to cheer a guy up.

The question is: Should FOX check their sources before they promote something like this?
The writer of this blog entry uses another blog as the “source” for this information. That’s a BIG NO-NO in the journalism world. A big one. Primarily because, as what has happened here, lies are spread as truths.
The site that announced the story of Kanye’s death was a MOCK-UP of the Foxnews.com site. The story was NOT reported on an actual Fox site. Here’s a link to an actual news source to confirm:

So, I guess the actual question that needs to be asked is, “Should TVONE check THEIR sources before they promote something like this?”
C”mon TvOne, I expect MUCH better than this from you!

Everyone knows I am not a fan of Kanye West but that was in such POOR TASTE, whoever did it!
And TVOne, I think you should check your sources as FOXNEWS didn’t print or publish this one. For once, their stinkin’ hands are actually clean! Even they wouldn’t stoop this low.
Yet another publicity stunt. How else to garner sympathy then to make the world think you have past away.
Berry, that’s a pretty serious charge. What leads you to believe that West concocted this story himself?
I have to go with Rance on that one. I don’t think even Kanye himself would do that. I need proof on that one. Most likely, it was some hater that probably WISHES Kanye was dead. If so, then that person is sad indeed.
As I said earlier, I don’t like Kanye BUT that’s a horrible thing to say about anyone, no matter how justified.
All of Us Cool Mexicans know that Kanye is not Dead,Fox News got this story mixed up big time.
What else would you expect from FOX NEWS. They are not a “real” news source.
what,
FOX didn’t report the story. It was an Internet hoax.
