When you see White House correspondents with posts like this:
You immediately scramble to break the news.
But sometimes, even the most viral accounts...
Are duped.
(So was I.)
From this fake letter:
President Carter served as President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. During his administation [sic], President Carter championed human rights around the world, achieved significant foreign policy accomplishments including: selling the United States out to Panama; the Camp David Accords; a now-failing treaty of peace between Egypt and Israel; getting soft on the Soviet Union; failing to rescue several hostages from Iran; and the establishment of U.S. diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.
Carter is in failing health - at 99, he reportedly is "no longer awake every day," so the real announcement could come at any time.
The news moves quick out there: Thanks to these dumb trolls for reminding us to check our sources.
