It would actually be quite fun to see if I could write an article using the same tactics....but then that might make me sneaky and underhand too.
A report has come in on October 16, 2010 that there have been sightings of Robert Pattinson and company shooting scenes for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" on a closed film set near Brays Point, Oregon. The report comes from Dave Masko,...............UPDATE: Vince Porter, Executive Director of the Governor's Office of Film &Television, refuted the claims both in the article's comment section and in an email to us. The article states that a contact at the Governor's Office of Film & Television confirmed that pre-production was underway and goes on to quote a source. Porter tells us that the Governor's Office was never contacted and confirmed no such thing. Moreover, the Governor's Office checked in with the University of Oregon and found that there are no students registered at the school with the names listed in the article.
He’s claimed (erroneously) that Newport residents were recently forced out of bed because of more tsunami alerts, that some coastal residents were told not to eat from their own gardens because of radiation from Japan, that dogs were getting sick or acting strange on the central coast, and most recently that Florence-area beaches were in need of “healing” from what appeared to be some unnamed environmental issue. All of these and other stunningly strange claims he’s made are not true. In one article, he outright claimed the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had issued the make-believe tsunami alerts. In another, he purposefully misquoted scientists from two Oregon universities.

Plenty of mainstream news agencies do the same and I'll criticise them too when they deserve it.
