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)

I wish people would realize that all they do is take old articles from other media, sensationalize it, add some unsourced bullshit, and spin it into something we want to hear. It's not helpful to post things we wish were true.

Posting bullshit that people want to hear and wish were true is how to get upvoated here! :)
