uh...can i get a paragraph summary of that gaming journalism incident. im high as hell and the OP in that other thread is too much right now.
From what I could put together:
-someone (4chan?) photoshops some video games for sale on a website that don't exist/haven't been announced, posing it as a leak of future release
-shopped image gets to a gaming news site somehow
-site puts it up as news without checking to see if it's real
-every other major gaming site jumps on board and reports it
-image turns out to be fake
-one guy starts posting on GAF defending himself, saying it's our job to prove it's fake, and not his job as a "journalist" to verify its legitimacy
-WanderingWind ethers said journalist
