Krispy Kreme Being Sued for Misleading Ingredients

http://www.ibtimes.com/krispy-kreme-doughnuts-sued-falsely-advertising-real-ingredients-2445917

As much as I enjoy their glazed doughnuts once in a blue moon, this doesn't surprise me.

They only make one decent donut anyway and that the Original. Based on the source for this story I'm really not sure how much weight the lawsuit is going to carry. I don't believe oversee any advertising or the information from KK that said they used natural ingredients.

I tried to find a more reputable news organization to verify this clip and was aghast as to how many"news" sites simply reprinted this story almost verbatim.
Still no conformation of the events at least to my suiting.

I think International Business Times is legit, though, isn't it? It's not on the current canonical list of "False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and Satirical “News” Sources." (It's on a Google Doc, but currently trending so you can't always get in. I'll paste the contents below, but without formatting, so the three-column setup breaks alphabetizing. Still, it's a good list to have.)

Below is a list of fake, false, regularly misleading, and otherwise questionable “news” organizations that are commonly shared on facebook and other social media sites. Many of these websites rely on “outrage” by using distorted headlines and decontextualized or dubious information in order to generate likes, shares, and profits.
Other sources on this list are purposefully fake with the intent of satire/comedy, which can offer important critical commentary on politics and society, but they are regularly shared as actual/literal news. I’m including them here, for now, because 1.) they have the potential to perpetuate misinformation based on different audience (mis)interpretations and 2.) to make sure anyone who reads a story by The Onion, for example, understands its purpose. If you think this is unnecessary, please see Literally Unbelievable.
Notes: Not all of these sources are always or inherently problematic, but I’m including them because they should be considered in conjunction with other news/info sources due to their tendency to rely on clickbait headlines etc.

Tips for analyzing news sources:
Avoid websites that end in “lo” ex: Newslo (above). These sites specialize in taking a piece of accurate information and then packaging that information with other false or misleading “facts.”
Watch out for websites that end in “.com.co” as they are often fake versions of real news sources.
Watch out if known/reputable news sites are not also reporting on the story. Sometimes lack of coverage is the result of corporate media bias and other factors, but there should typically be more than one source reporting on a topic or event.
Odd domain names generally equal odd and rarely truthful news.
Lack of author attribution may, but not always, signify that the news story is suspect and requires verification.
Some news organizations are also letting bloggers post under the banner of particular news brands; however, many of these posts do not always go through the same editing process (ex: BuzzFeed Community Posts, Kinja blogs, Forbes blogs).
Check the “About Us” tab on websites or look up the website on Snopes or Wikipedia for more information about the source.
If the story makes you REALLY ANGRY it’s probably a good idea to keep reading about the topic via other sources to make sure the story you read wasn’t purposefully trying to make you angry (with potentially misleading or false information) in order to generate shares and ad revenue.
It’s always best to read multiple sources of information to get a variety of viewpoints and media frames. Some sources not specifically included in this list (although their practices at times may qualify them for addition), such as The Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, and Fox News, vacillate between providing legitimate, problematic, and/or hyperbolic news coverage, requiring readers and viewers to verify and contextualize information with other sources.

To hijack my own thread;

MSNBC? Really? However, Fox News not listed?

Fox is definitely farther to the right than MSNBC is to the left.

Anyway, I digress.

Ray, I don't blame you.

Take note, though, that they're targeting MSNBC.com.co ... lots of fake sites spoof the original by bracketing it in the .co domain. That's NOT the real MSNBC.

I loved it, though, that the guy put Fox and HuffPo in tension. I'd say that's a fair match.

Also, it appears that the Colombian DNS registrar has pulled MSNBC.com.co. You just get the registry home page in Spanish. The Colombians might be pushing back against people who aren't in Colombia abusing the national domain.

Thanks for that Robin! Mind if I share it elsewhere?
