Get your fake news here
« on: June 18, 2026, 11:43:07 PM »
Apparently youtubers are willing to bald face lie about something as serious as flash flooding, just for the sake of a quick buck. Youtube -- nay, the Internet -- was a mistake.

He had me going for a while -- after all, we've had record rain here lately, especially in my own immediate area. I also can see all the huge storms out that direction. So it wasn't crazy to think there was flooding there.

But what was the footage (video clips) he's showing? I don't know if they're from years ago, AI generated, or what. But just Google it -- there is no flooding anywhere in Houston this week. This is FAKE NEWS.

And no one in the comments is calling him out for it! Maybe 1 or 2 people out of hundreds. And they get hand-waved off.
