That's about as bad as what the post did, and far worse than what CNN did.

I think of Sunil Tripathi's brother and sister, and his mother, upon seeing the "confirmation." (Don't worry...the brother was also accused!!!). CNN citing a non-existent arrest is a minor matter compared to falsely accusing a missing and depressed person by name, seems to me.
