My Monday appeal. Debunk them, junk FB posts & junk Tweets. By junk I mean False. Yep, I’m serious. Be4 you post it, check it, confirm it, be4 you swallow it. Be a fact checker. Why? Because false stories go viral sooner than truth. Don’t be a propagator. Be4 you post it, STOP, do a gutcheck. Take 90-120 sec. to verify source & credibility.
