This insane hunt to find something sensational, without even vetting the facts of your claims, and then releasing it as fast as you can to be "first" to the punch, is just a sickness. Cable news does it as well (CNN I'm looking at you).

The internet is full of rumor spreading hotheads and the people who believe them. It's scary the damage they can cause to innocent people.
