Second time this disinfo had made the rounds in the last two weeks. Reporting this post as spam.

Exactly why I said "Authenticity needs investigating."

No problem. One way I figure out of its spam it to search the headline in a search engine. If I don't see it come up under any reputable outlets I know its spam. There are several other spam sites that will fire off at the same time that neonette and yournewswire does and after a while you will recognize them. :)

What's a reputable outlet anymore anyway? You can't trust any without doing your own research and investigating in to what is tue and what isn't.

not that I'm saying this story is real, but can you give any examples of a reputable news outlet?

Bets advice I can give on that is more to notice which ones run the story at the same time as yournewswire and neonette. Those are not trustworthy. What makes it even more confusing is that these sites also publish true stories on a regular basis too. Then all of a sudden they will just fire off these totally bogus ones. Its sort of a matter of time and pattern spotting in figuring it out.

But what im saying is this describes all news outlets.

Modern day National Enquirer.

Yet the NE published some stories ahead of everyone else which turned out to be absolutely true in spite of numerous naysayers. Same thing had always happened to CDAN Blinds. They were a way of exposing truth while protecting leakers. The latter could always claim the site had a rep of liars and therefore cover their tracks.
