Originally shared by Kirill Grouchnikov #pixelpushing #internetjournalism When an unscrupulous tech site decides to publish an unsubstantiated rumor under a grandiose headline, and all a whole bunch of tech sites use that as their source without bothering to check for any evidence corroborating that "breaking exclusive", and it keeps on snowballing from "rumor" to "developing" to "confirmed", and a couple of hours later it turns out to be a complete hoax (aka http://x-surface.tumblr.com/post/41282771026/x-surface-dont-believe-everything-you-read ), I imagine Russell Holly looking at all those articles and being all like...
