This "story" was being reported on all the news channels, but they were careful to put the disclaimer "according to buzzfeed..."
Basically it was an excuse/loophole for news networks to report the fake story as if it were true, but skirt responsibility for it being false.
Since when was regurgitating a sensationalist story on a clickbait website considered "breaking news"? Hell, since when was buzzfeed a reliable source for facts?
It's stuff like this that gives twump credibility from his base when he calls the media "fake news".
