No doubt you have seen the story of the boy who died in Santa's arms - well about that ...
This is just another example of how the news is made up and manipulated for whatever ends.
Factual reporting has gone out the window, and now fictional stories, what celebs are wearing and general gossip make up sheeple's daily diet of "news".

Factual reporting has gone out the window, and now fictional stories, what celebs are wearing and general gossip make up sheeple's daily diet of "news".
Quote:The Tennessee newspaper that first reported the story of a Santa who said a terminally ill child had died in his arms is now reporting that it cannot verify the story is true.
The account from Santa Claus actor Eric Schmitt-Matzen was first reported in the Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel, and picked up by USA Today. Many other news organizations, including PennLive, published versions of the story based on the Knoxville newspaper's account.
That account was based on an interview with Schmitt-Matzen, who said he was called to the hospital bed of a 5-year-old boy who wanted to see Santa, and that the boy died in his arms. However, he insisted that he had to protect the privacy of other people who were involved, so would not give the newspaper their names or identify the hospital.
The newspaper says has been unable to confirm the account, and therefore can no longer stand by the story:
"The News Sentinel cannot establish that Schmitt-Matzen's account is inaccurate, but more importantly, ongoing reporting cannot establish that it is accurate."
