[android180] False Pretences

[android180]

Recently, I was scrolling through social media when I came across a post announcing some breaking news. Upon reading the comments, I was both pleased and annoyed. Why?

[Sarisberie]

Was this an actual news post? Or a person's post which contained some news? Personal to them? or otherwise? Did the post's contents affect you, whether directly or indirectly? Did you believe, or trust, something previously, which had now proved to be false? Was it relevantly on Facebook, or elsewhere? Did it include something other than text?

Weather relevant? An accident? Were people hurt, killed, inconvenienced, lost money or property?

Did the event occur in Europe? Elsewhere? Is it a discrete event, or an ongoing one? A one-time event? An expected one? One planned for?

Were the commenters relating the event to something else? If so, something actually related? Unrelated?

[trebor2]

Does the news involve any heads of state?

Not a scientific discovery, but is a discovery of another sort relevant? Like, an archaeological discovery? A marine discovery? Was something invented? Created? A formula proven? Does the news fall under the realm of technology?

Europe is most relevant out of the continents, but no specific European country is relevant? Is the EU relevant? Something else that is common to multiple European countries? Are any European cultures relevant? Or customs? Languages? Is the event something that was more likely to happen in Europe vs somewhere else? Size of European countries relevant?

[Sarisberie]

Were either of the two groups being cruel, bigoted, argumentative, inflammatory etc, getting the 'wrong end of the stick'?
