Wither MSM as Blogger Perez Hilton Breaks Castro Dead Story
UPDATE: Perez Hilton’s site is not following up on this story at all which in all likelyhood means it’s not true. Boy, if you can’t trust a gossip blogger who can you trust!
Just heard via twitter that Castro is dead, not only that but Perez Hilton, famed hollywood gossip blogger broke the story. This may be a seminal moment in blogging/social media history.

Drudge has anyone beat on the whole being first on the internet thing. What was once considered a joke by mainstream media is now widely quoted and sought out first for breaking info. If it’s on Drudge, it must be true.

And seeing that Drudge is in Miami, I’d think he’d be on top of this story.
If Hilton keeps repeating this scoop often enough, eventually, it’ll be true.
