There’s been tons of mixed reporting during this trying time, from factually incorrect articles, to reports with dangerous messaging. More so than ever, the internet has become a concerning place.
But here’s something that I never anticipated we’d have to deal with: an article about James Charles farting.
E! News published a report called, ‘James Charles “Farted at Least 50 Times” While Filming Instant Influencer Finale’ and the internet is ripping them to shreds.
The article was based on the following tweet by the controversial influencer:
HAHAHAHAHA I don’t remember what I ate but I farted at least 50 times during the finale 💀😂 we were all cracking up https://t.co/z2ThZVHC9T

Look, James is the one who spread the gross-ass ‘news’ (pun intended), but the fact that a legit media outlet picked up on it has absolutely sent the internet.
Have a go at the reactions below:
And we should do what?? Applaud?? Gossip? Retweet it several times so it becomes something?? Say that “oh James is so funny “?? The hell. Find SOME relevant news or leave the job
