Well, the truth of the matter is that most media houses and online portals would prefer to make news public before seeking confirmation from the person. On many occasions have celebrities complained about false news published about them but that seems not to end since everyone is more focused on gaining traffic on the internet than doing the right thing.
It is at the back of this that Joe Mettle who was once rumored to be going out with TV3’s Berla Mundi has said that it has been very disheartening for false news to spread that fast before the media reaches out to them for confirmation.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM with Andy Dosty, Joe Mettle said that the media must focus more on the authenticity of the news before publishing them. He said such false news turns to ridicule their families and loved ones who have nothing to do with what trends on the digital platform.
