Imo George Webb is a limited hangout for sure. And I don't trust him when he says she's dead, sorry. It's only him and TruePundit who spread the story, there are no articles in local papers to corrobate the story, nothing. And TruePundit has published disinfo before.

I didn’t know that it wasn’t reported by local news. I’ve heard the same about True Pundit. Geez.

Truepundit has always been a garbage source. The biggest reason they're garbage is because they almost never source their claims. It's sensationalist headline after sensationalist headline. It's often why the progressives can easily lambast the right with the moniker "fake news". It's definitely a different type of "fake news" that we see from the main stream media. I would say the biggest difference is often the production quality put into these fake stories, though the more unhinged MSM becomes, the worse their quality becomes. I guess it's a race to the bottom there at this point.

I've called out users for using Truepundit as a source before. (See here and here. I actually found it quite strange you all were rallying around truepundit as a source for this, but decided to opt out of the discussion all together due to the drama it would have started. Despite some people's popular belief here, I don't always try to engage in drama.

I think this is a good lesson for a lot of people here. If you can't find the source material of where the information is coming from, don't trust the story until you have better information. This doesn't mean the story is false, but if one were to be at least try being intellectually honest, they could hardly fault you for not believing a poorly sourced news article.

I hate the ones that don’t show sources. That’s what yournewswire does and I see trustworthy people tweet those out all the time.
