On 6 July 2016, the web site Cartel Press published an article reporting that a teenager was stabbed when he accidentally wandered into a bad Chicago neighborhood while playing the new Pokemon Go app: There is no truth to the above-quoted story: This article is just another clickbait fabrication published by a fake news site. Cartel Press is an off-shoot of Huzlers.com. Although Cartel Press does not carry a ready available disclaimer, Huzlers is a well known purveyor of misinformation, as their disclaimer indicates: In addition to the story's dubious source, readers could have determined the non-credible nature of this article by examining the site's other headlines (Zoo Claims Gorilla Had Ties to Isis, Tony Romo Arrested in North Carolina for Using Men's Bathroom) or checking the information against other sources. No reputable news outlet has reported that teenager Marcus Jackson was stabbed while playing Pokemon Go near Chicago.
