There's a lot of irony in using a deceptive website to accuse Cuomo of deception.

The source cited in the OP has the appearance of legitimacy because the name was deliberately chosen to create that deceptive facade and trick viewers. It's not.

It's a website that falsely purports to be associated with an ABC-affiliated television station and that publishes fabricated stories, including a made-up article about a West Virginia mother who fatally shot a registered sex offender that was picked up by other media outlets due to its name designed to manipulate.

I try my best to never click on links to such dishonest sites because I don't want to contribute to their view count. I made the error in clicking on the OP's link. It should be abundantly and immediately apparent that it's fake due to the hyperbolic language but it obviously deceives some people into thinking it's authentic.

True its an opinion site, but what makes you think its not true? Here is another opinion site with the same story.

You've subverted what I stated. No, it is not an "opinion" site. It's a fraudulent one, and the ethically appropriate response would be to request that the thread be closed rather than enabling the disinformation to grow.

Did you not actually read the articles you've posted to realize the second link from Breitbart is a copy and paste of the first article? I mean when you wrote "same story" I thought it meant that it was going to be an original one but on the same topic, and not just a copy pasta with cheese.

Yes i noticed the articles were identical, but not sure who posted it first.
