The Morgan Freeman Viral Newtown Quote Was a Fake [+freedom of information]

    "Speaking through his publicist, Freeman denied making any statement
     regarding the shootings. "He said the actor's camp was trying to

Not only was the viral quote attributed to Morgan false, but I will
add that in the 21st century, attempting to suppress information in
such a manner can only attract more attention, and is technically
impossible as well.
