A hoax from 1994 which revealed how pervasive media deception and bias can be. There was no company - and yet multiple media organizations fabricated news about it. "Skaggs never answered a single call, fax or letter. Despite this, numerous television reporters stated they had spoken with representatives of the company. Others reported that large dogs were missing off the streets. Several stated that legal charges were being brought against the company. One reporter in Atlanta warned viewers not to send money to the organization. Another reporter stopped an Asian restaurateur on the street, showed him the letter, and with an accusatory tone asked him if he had ever seen the letter before. The man’s name and the name of his restaurant were displayed on the screen." https://joeyskaggs.com/works/dog-meat-soup/
