"Reporters will interview people, or, in this day and age, do an internet
search. And then you can strike GOLD: that great QUOTE on a website that fits a
story perfectly. But there are danger signs on the cyberspace highway. That’s
because there are parody sites…and some of them look like REAL websites of the
rich, famous and infamous. And some of them are so silly and laugh-out loud
outrageous, snarky and downright dumb that they seem like they MUST be the real
thing."
Someone is looking for a new job over this one I bet. It is basic journalism that you don't take one source and run with it, and you don't trust the internet. Besides Dolphin fighting rings?
