If all which you have issue with is the author not being clear on the date, but everything did happen as described, it is not fake news.

It's not just about the date.
It's written to be provocative, giving some details but not other details. It's written to give you the impression that it is happening currently.
In a time where things in this country are going badly, this piece is written with the specific purpose to enrage and divide-- to get you so emotionally connected to the story that when you realize that the truth isn't EXACTLY how it's presented, it won't matter because your emotions have been provoked.
In simpler terms, it's subtle manipulation.

Um, Jermyn, I think you’re making this out to be more than what it is. As Esaias said, the writer wrote it as if the event happened recently, because when they wrote it, the event was recent.
I really don’t think it’s the writer that wrote it to deceive people. It’s not the original writers fault that someone decided to copy paste the article and post it.
It’s as if in 2010, I wrote a piece about an event that just happened, then someone in 2017 took what I wrote, copied and pasted it word for word, and posted it as a new article.

Um, you're wrong.
The article I have linked was presented on September 25, 2017.
It was presented as if it was just happening this year-- conveniently leaving details on the dates and the fact that all of the perps involved in this case are already in jail.
"Smith has been charged in relation to the murder and is still in custody, but the other teen was only charged with robbery despite being an accessory. Police are now offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Hamilton."
Implies and on-going situation-- presented as on-going September 2017.

Re: Now THIS Is The Fake News We Are Warmed About!
OK. The ORIGINAL AUTHOR may have wrote this a couple of years ago, but it was repeated by this new source as if it was recent news with an on-going investigation.
Why publish a story where you are BLATANLTY leaving out pertinent facts like timeline, arrests, and convictions?
It is irresponsible journalism, at best-- which indeed be fake news.
This article has just enough truth to get you emotionally involved, not enough truth to tell you that the story has already ended with the perps behind bars.

Re: Now THIS Is The Fake News We Are Warmed About!
JD - I would not call this "fake news".
Because it was true.
However, it is old news republished for some inflammatory purposes.

That's what I said at the beginning. There's nothing "fake" about what was reported. It was all true.
Then Aquila tried some dumb analogy with Hitler and Trump .. .. ..
Not fake.

The AUTHOR wrote it back in 2015 I believe. Some website just reposted it with no commentary.
Why?
Why do people drive on the wrong side of the road, wear skinny jeans, want to use the wrong bathroom, or vote Democrat?
Who knows? Some things cannot be explained.

JD, this is much ado about nothing. It's not the NY Times or WaPo or FoxNews or CNN.
This is a WordPress Blog! This is some dude in an apartment somewhere going over stories which have already been published and copying them on his personal blog.
