Intent is the question. My question would be why would you want to post something that may or may not be true instead of verifying it and knowing? I am not trying to give you a hard time I honestly would like to know your thoughts.

I already stated I didn't know whether it was true or not and I am certainly not a liar , msm may be keeping it hush hush at this point

I understand that point. If I may I would like to ask you the same question I did the other. Why would you want to post something that you did not know the answer to that could be a falsehood instead of just verifying first? Or it could be posted something like, "Hey I came across this can anyone verify it?" I know it was not posted with any kind of deception in mind but you must remember this is the net and people do not hardly ever look past the first few sentences. They look at the biggest words first. They may totally miss what you said but if it gets reposted maybe the next person wouldn't. I guess what I mean is why even risk it? Do we not want to be warriors of truth?
