      Why point this out? Because if journalists don't want to be accused of peddling "fake news" they shouldn't credulously spread fake images.

          I love the people pointing out to you "but it's his avatar!" like that somehow excuses lazy journalists from doing a poor job at researching

          Also, yes it's photoshopped (and badly so) but since it's his avi doesn't that show where his thoughts are?

          And to make it even more incredulous, it took me 10 seconds to track from false to original. Everything should not be taken at face value

          It's too late. His original tweet got 21k shares. The retraction gets nothing. This is how these journalists work.

          If you read the guys timeline- he also states that his pic is photoshopped. Lazy and/or purposely deceptive.
