Hard Hitting Investigative Journalism
/WKBW (Buffalo) Reporter Brittany Muller did some Emmy award-winning investigative Journalism when she bounced around on Facebook and found a fake account.
A Fake account on Facebook? No Way?
WAY!
I know it's hard to believe, but Muller was able to find out that the page which has almost 3,000 likes and shows a women pooping in the street (see below) and an event on zombie apocalypse (she had trouble saying that word) were not real and not sponsored by the City of Buffalo. The fake FB is supposed to look like the City's page, but it doesn't take but a few seconds to figure out it's a parody page.
Still, that did not stop Muller from heading to Facebook herself and doing a FB Live promoting her story about the fake page.
Watch the video for some pure gold.
BTW- this is the post for "taco Tuesday" that Muller talked about that showed a woman taking a dump in the street.
Nothing like sending viewers to a website where you can see a fat woman crap in the street.
This is the kind of award winning Journalism you rarely see anymore.
