Betty White Death Hoax - Is Betty White dead?

Betty White Death Hoax – Is Betty White dead? – Actress Betty White 92 dyes peacefully in her Los Angeles home

Betty White Death Hoax – Is Betty White dead? – Another site has made a satirical article citing a misleading claim; this time that Betty White has died. It’s caused a ton of confusion for social network users.

Empire News reported in a satirical article titled, “Actress Betty White, 92, Dyes Peacefully In Her Los Angeles Home,” that the actress is not a natural blonde (dyes not dies, if you’re not following). If users would read the article this would be apparent, but most of us headline skimmers don’t always catch the whole story.

The site’s disclaimer states:

“Empire News is a satirical and entertainment website. We only use invented names in all our stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental,”

Several other websites make satirical articles that go viral and confuse people around the world. It’s a great way to drive a ton of traffic to your site for ad money, but users may feel a little cheated.
