Review: Scary in that it could come true!

This relatively quick read told about an unverified tweet that was picked up by the main stream media and the effects spiraled way out of control!  Considering the link that has formed between social media and the press, the need to be first to report a story, and the tendency of the media to not be too careful about reporting the difference between fact and rumor, this all serves to make this obviously exaggerated and funny story about a made-up tweet, a cautionary tale well worth reading.  Considering the track we are following where the news must be instantaneous or it loses value, this far-fetched story could well come true in the not too distant future!
