I despair of getting total truth from the Web because it takes the news hack's propensity for bullhockey and intensely amplifies it. Thus we get THE MILLION-DOLLAR YOUTUBE SINGER!!!!!!!!!! (a fiction declaimed by DVFORBESLISTBLOG), and now SUMNER's boys insist LIZ is worth $1 BILLION!!!!!!!!!!, a factoid being spread by BloomyBIZWEEK, the rag that declared THE DONALD worth $100 ZILLION. How can we hope for truth when that base Web PR instinct teaches us not to believe anything?
P. S. The professional fabulists did an equally good job seven years ago slinging factoids about Bob Hope. How ironic DVFORBESLISTBLOG used to debunk such claims; now it makes them.
