I didnt get a screenshot. I never thought a news blog would be stupid enough to pull a stunt like this. Apologies are usually the way to go.

Notice the second paragraph and how it miraculously mentions the story “still breaking” and how they placed calls to the representation (which was nowhere to be mentioned or found in it the initial piece).

This was all over the radio this morning, not a suprise, this is how rumors start.

Yep. I saw it too. You just completely changed the article. How stupid do you think people are?!

Looks like BreakingNews just exposed the change on twitter as well. Expect the poop storms to start brewing.

Anybody get a screenshot of version 1??

It isn’t just sad that you broke the new before confirming the story, you guys actually have to audacity to change the ENTIRE article to say you didnt actually break news or speculate. I read the initial piece and I’ve read your “re-written” piece and theres a world of a difference… Irresponsible reporting, your credibility has most probably been shot to sh** already.

P.S> There was NO question mark in the headline before, in case you guys thought disinformation would help you save face.
