The headline is fake
An image shared on Facebook allegedly shows a CNN Business article with a headline that reads, “White Supremacist Internet Gamers buy Gamestop stocks to purposefully bankrupt Jewish Hedge Fund on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.” Verdict: False There is no record of CNN Business publishing the headline. A CNN spokesperson confirmed the image is fake. In recent days, amateur investors from the Reddit group “WallStreetBets” have fueled a surge in the value of video game retailer GameStop’s stock, which had been shorted by hedge funds such as Melvin Capital, according to NBC News. The Facebook image claims to show a CNN Business headline related to the GameStop stock fluctuation that was allegedly written by “Moshie R. Horowitz” and updated on Jan.27, the date International Holocaust Remembrance Day is held. The image has also circulated on Twitter and Reddit, where some users expressed doubt about its authenticity and others appeared to believe it was genuine.
