New York Post fooled by fake Facebook page claiming to be from Newtown
shooter's brother
http://j.mp/VeQur8 (Washington Post)
The spokesman said that Lanza, 24, shut his Facebook account
shortly after the shooting and it has not been reactivated. A fake
Facebook page that at first glance appeared to be Lanza's was
subsequently created and used to deceive the New York Post
reporter. It is not known who orchestrated the deception.
Cockfield described the New York Post story as the "unfortunate
result of a poor editorial process."
