Okay, not getting an ETOY nom is one thing, but a supposedly credible television station's website spreading confirmed false information about Carrie is another thing!
I was talking on facebook with someone about Carrie's professional career plans (i.e. the possibilities of Carrie appearing at unannounced festivals), and they made a reference to Carrie's personal life that differed from the what I heard, which is perfectly fine - until C---U--Official.com makes a press release, it's not official Carrie news, IMO.
My beef lies in the timing of the source of rumored information, from the supposedly reputable, cmt.ca
I'm not going to discuss the actual false news (not allowed on cfans, so please keep this thread clean...) but my problem is not with the subject content, but rather it's web published timing:
On January 26th (last Wednesday) the tabloid Star Magazine made a comment on Carrie's personal life. (I know enough to treat these magazines with a grain of salt, so no harm done).
Two days later, the almost equally reputable US weekly publishes a statement directly from Carrie's people saying that the January 26th news from Star Magazine is false.
The problem lies in that on that same day, January, 28th, cmt.ca (which appears to be reputable, as the only country music channel in Canada) published on their website CMT.ca, the "news" from January 26th (not the 28th...), and because it's coming from cmt, there's a greater chance of this false information being spread with assumed credibility, etc. The "story" on cmt.ca is still the 3rd most recent story on the website. Anyone want to email cmt.ca about this? CMT.ca : Country Music Television : Videos, Music and Community
