Fake News - Ebola Found in Hair Extensions
If grafitti is starting to spread fears of Ebola, you know that social media isn't far behind, especially with fake news about Ebola. The latest email sent to me warned about Ebola found in packages of hair extensions, or what some may call a killer weave. Since I don't use hair extensions (I think they're the worst thing you can do to your scalp), I didn't get alarmed, but I could see how this could shake up a sister.
The email even included a doctored up image from a CNN newscast:
Received a clip via text message, showing CNN news anchors (Anderson Cooper and another) discussing how Ebola has been found in numerous packages of hair extension in the US. Is this true?
Snopes debunked this Ebola rumor here. Here is the original, undoctored image of the CNN report:
The Ebola scare rumors begin.
