I criticized the nature of testing and its inability to weed out those who were infected. That's an opinion you may disagree with, but it's not fake news

Okay agreed that was your opinion. Although the tone of your post seemed much more like you were stating a fact..

I can't believe you could compare my criticism of something with Big B openly spreading misinformation. False equivalence much?

Lol even he wrote above that it was his opinion..He wasn't stating it as a matter of fact. Comparing his opinion which you can disagree with, to fake news..False equivalence much?

My replies in red.

I'm not interested in this discussion either. Ciao.

Absolutely he just stated his opinion but some people think they have right to state their opinion others not,,,

I corrected my mom yesterday for forwarding this. After that she called everyone, and said this is bullshit. AB Sr also needs someone in his family to do that.

Older people even if educated, don't get the internet hoaxes and fads. Also any positive news, is seen as a blessing. Yes AB Sr is an idiot for sharing it, so is my mom, but are they doing it on their own, gleefully sharing fake news? I don't think so, they are just misguided. Real issue is with these forward walas, I know most of the twitter has blamed this on BJP supporters, but let's not forget that, fake news forwards have been in India ever since we got mobile phones, remember 10 logo ko message forward kijeye, apko 100 saal tak mata ka kripya milega, ya aaj purnima hai, ghar ke bahar pani rakheye, aapki dukh dard durr hojayenge. So this bullshit rumor making up is on Indian bloods, can't do much.

I don't understand the defense for him..........being a celeb he is more responsible to not spread misinformation.....

congress is very much capable of creating such hoaxes to blame it on BJP........though none of them are doodh ka dhula, I feel congress more sinister in its greed for power

I noticed that most people on the BWF go by the poster, not by the content of the posts....If you know what I mean! So yes everything a certain poster posts, has to be debunked/defended!

I think he's far too smart to believe that. He knows what his audience will eat up. He's catering to a very specific set of folks who'll start jhooming after looking at that tweet. If you know what I mean 😃
