PSA: Neon Nettle is actual fake news. (pizzagate)

submitted ago by HolyMoly0

This is the latest in a recent series of posts from Neon Nettle. It had 40 up-votes before anyone down-voted it, or noticed that the central claim of the story had NO SOURCE.

The amount of times I've seen people post stories from this ALWAYS UN-SOURCED trash heap of a "news site" has me concerned that many of us might believe everything they've read from it.

I'm making this post as a public announcement, with hopes that next time someone will say something before a Neon Nettle post gets up-voted 40 times. Because this is starting to annoy the shit out of me.

Edit:

Another example: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1967740 (this story cites Neon Nettle, who in turn cites NOTHING. It too was getting up-voted for a while before anyone caught it)

Anybody know how to do the site owner check? Be interesting to see who's behind this. It's a very odd site.

I like creating hype…it’s something I've always been good at, and because my name is Steve McQueen it’s hard for people to forget me.

And he began to cry

Now only boys

That love only boys

The perfect picture

Of a boy/girl age

I'm praying to the aliens
