[QUOTE="HotNewHipHop, post: 66739, member: 83"] Just about anyone can open a social media account and pretend to be a news agency or outlet. We've seen false news stories or updates via some social media source run rampant online, often forcing its targets to come forward with statements to deny what's being reported. This can cause embarrassment, backlash, or harm for some people, and after facing ridicule, Magic Johnson is setting the record straight. A Twitter account named "@CockSources" is all about satire and fake news created for viral potential, and it hit its mark when it tweeted that [URL='https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/magic-johnson-reveals-dr-fauci-helped-him-after-being-diagnosed-with-hiv-news.151275.html']Magic Johnson donated blood.[/URL] [HEADING=3][IMG alt="Magic Johnson, Cookie Johnson"]https://ssl.ulximg.com/public/userfiles/2022/08/23/GettyImages-1147416718.jpeg[/IMG] [I]Gregg DeGuire / Stringer / Getty Images[/I][/HEADING] It wrote, "Earlier today, NBA legend Magic Johnson donated some of his blood to the Red Cross to help underprivileged communities help fight COVID-19 [goat emoji][hands raised emoji]."
