It's funny how dummies on the left talk about disinformation. You put out a bullshit story that Tom Selleck is dead without ever verifying it. Sort of like the dirty dossier and still think you are credible! Bullshit!!

We are glad he is still doing good glad to hear it
I think that is not funny at all and how would they feel if it was their family that was put on Facebook like that they would get mad at all of them
More fake liberal bullshit. This world is going to shit in a handbasket with the Democraps in charge!!
When I first saw those words I started to cry and then I saw the truth and I was relieved.
People need to stop say things that could adversely effect others.
That is absolutely disgusting, they need to get rid of all social media it’s nothing but trash and people have made it that way. That is horrible to post about someone dying and it is not true. How would they feel if someone told them their mom or dad or other family members were dead. I can promise you they won’t like it and be upset when they found out it wasn’t true. People have no RESPECT.
I’m glad he is still alive!
I would be verifying any news about what you read from the internet. if it’s not on a news on TV then I’m not going to believe it. Karma works in mysterious ways. The one that started the rumor will get theirs someday. And it will be bad for them. Their car might break down and it cost them a lot or anything could happen.
“if its not on the news, I’m not going to believe it”….
that’s fn hīlărious Carl J 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
