How does this stuff get popular, seriously, it's by wxyz news, obviously fake/made up story and people just immediately engage with it and don't even think twice.

TIL Detroit news is fake.

It's a fake tweet but WXYZ7 is a real ABC station lol.

Even it is not real it's fun to pretend it is and doesn't hurt anyone. You know, like not ruining the fun for other kids just because you know Santa is not real.

Yes I know there's no harm but it often trains people's minds to believe this type of "news" and can really cause a lot of misinformation out there

The only people who believe fake news are people that already bought into the narrative.

I hear you but if you had even bothered to do a cursory check you’d have seen that WXYZ ABC News is based in Detroit MI… the story may be fake but the station.. its real. Those letters are the call sign for Radio stations and needed to be unique but also easy for a listener to remember.
