So what’s it all about?
Earlier this week a video was posted on Facebook depicting a house on fire. The fire was real, but the caption was not.
The caption read:
Realtor sets home on fire after the homeowner decided not to sell!
In truth, a Realtor did not set the house ablaze. The caption was photoshopped over legitimate news footage covering an incident where a New Hampshire police officer was fatally shot while responding to a domestic dispute call at a home that subsequently exploded.
The video went viral on Facebook, fetching 4.2 million views, 33,307 shares, and 8,293 comments before it was removed. One can assume that it became so viral because many people in the general public believed it to be true.
