Pictures of 5-year-old Liam Ramos recently went viral online. The photo featured the child after his father abandoned him to escape arrest by ICE. That photo generated its own mountain of misinformation. On Sunday, another 'Liam Ramos’ picture exploded on social media. Many posted a picture of musical artist Bad Bunny handing a small boy his Grammy award during his Super Bowl performance, claiming the boy was Ramos. It wasn't him. It’s bad enough that the false story went viral. Even worse is that it got a boost on X from a CNN anchor (more on that shortly).
Here's the post by Ed Krassenstein that was instrumental in pushing the hoax. (READ)
Many of you may have missed this, but the little boy who Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to at the Super Bowl was Liam Ramos!

They are pure dollars driven bait farmers
Money for misinformation is quite the racket.
Speaking of getting paid for misinforming the public, CNN’s Jim Sciutto reposted the fake story without checking its veracity.
A CNN anchor retweeting blatant Krassenstein misinformation is just too perfect.

Rhythms of Resistance? Seriously?
Commenters acknowledge that those who gripe about misinformation the most are often the biggest purveyors of it.
Why is it that those who complain the most about "misinformation" and "disinformation," are the ones who spread the most "misinformation" and "disinformation?"

Well, @jimsciutto is too biased to bother fact-checking something that he wants to be true.

He’s a “news anchor” in the same way George Stephanopoulos is a news anchor.

Sciutto's fake news posting is totally on brand for CNN.
Some were wondering when Sciutto’s repost would be undone.
Yep. How long before Sciutto un RTs?

Already done. 😂
