  • On 12 July 2017, the HoustonChronicle-TV web site published an entirely fake story, reporting that American gospel singer and pastor Don Moen had died after a short illness: The article is riddled with errors and fabrications, such as California's General Acute Care Hospital, which does not exist, and a fake tribute from President Donald Trump. Moen's collaborator — Nigerian Christian Contemporary music artist Frank Edwards — confirmed the report is a hoax, tweeting a screenshot of a text message sent by Moen's son Michael, who wrote: On the day the fake article was published, Moen posted to Facebook. The story itself contains several hallmarks of being fake: an invented hospital; a dubious cause of death (stomach pain) is followed by the contradictory claim that the cause of death was not immediately known; a quote from Donald Trump is not attributed to any source; a quote from the pastor T.D. Jakes is attributed to local media but no specific source is named. HoustonChronicle-TV.com is not in any way associated with the Houston Chronicle newspaper. (en)
