@GossiTheDog We had this is the old days.

The story of the person who used a lawn mower to trim their hedges, hurt themselves, and then successfully sued the maker of the lawn mower. It isn't true.

In the 1980s a reporter investigated the story after a major insurance company put this story a full page newspaper ad to push tort reform.

There was no source for the story, no proof. It was a lie

The insurance company almost lost its license.

We've always had fake stories that spread.
