So one could conclude that the primary way to be popular is to always send good news irrespective of its validity.

I disagree and think this is too broad a generalization.
Some of us are talking about
facts taken
in context, and others are stereotyping the whole community with a very wide brush by taking
rumor--not fact--
out of context--out of the context of LIVING here.
Somebody even implied, based on the rumor herein, that the Sanford, FL tragedy could be repeated here because of the hysteria....to which that very comment added fuel to the fire by bringing murder into it!!
