Hoax: Because every reader gets the information he deserves

; Πως μια αληθινή είδηση μπορεί να γίνει hoax ή αλλιώς ; Today, in almost all major news websites, the main topic is the tiger or the Cretan cat. Let's take a look at the information that is being spread...wild tiger

The news was started by cretapost.gr and states:

Intimidation has provoked a locust in the locality of Sitia, which appeared and was found to move mainly during the evening hours.

As residents of the area, who happened to see it from afar, look like a Cretan wildcat and is about one meter long.

After these testimonies, the men of the local police station, along with residents of the area, have been hungry for the last few hours in the hunt ... of the wild animal that has caused the terror in its passage.

As expected, residents have been terrified of the idea that a wild animal is circulating among them, afraid to go even to their fields.

Immediately after the copy paste started. But it is not a faithful copy paste as we found out there are also "sauces." The term hoax goes into sauces of course:

The First Topic, for example, in addition to the article, added a video as well as a which shows something very different from the animal it describes:

So let's look at the rare video recorded in the past by a Cretan wildcat that according to testimonies it looks like in the feline of Sitia.

The video below 2013 appeared on YouTube and refers to a Pallas cat or Otocolobus manul and the environment that the video has taken is from a zoo. The Pallas cat lives in the mountains of central Asia, nothing to do with Crete ...

But a Greek "nature lover" liked the video, downloaded it, changed the title and re-uploaded it to with Title:
