Sometimes, a picture is worth no words at all: the daily mail published a fake story about Alec "Killer" Baldwin last night, and today, the new york post plagiarized it!


Sometimes, a picture is worth no words at all: Alec “Killer” Baldwin on the set of his production, rust, on friday

By N.S.

The daily mail fake news story, by a Harriet Alexander, was posted at 1:42 a.m. today:

[Headline:] “Alec Baldwin is spotted holding a prop shotgun the WRONG way around as filming kickstarts on new set of rust in montana - a day after his involuntary manslaughter charges were dropped.”

[Lede:] “Alec Baldwin has been spotted holding a shotgun the wrong way around on the new set of Rust - just a day after involuntary manslaughter charges against him were dropped.”

“The actor appeared to be passing the prop weapon to another cast member as filming resumed in Montana following the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins in 2021.”

The original fake story’s lede has since been deleted, and it (or rather, a seeming teaser version, also with Harriet Alexander's byline, which is simply the same story scrambled but which promises more) now opens with the confession,

“Alec Baldwin has been spotted holding a shotgun the wrong way around on the new set of Rust - just a day after involuntary manslaughter charges against him were dropped. The actor appeared to be passing the prop weapon to another cast member as filming resumed in Montana following the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins in 2021.”

“Alec Baldwin holds gun — backward — on new ‘Rust’ set after fatal shooting charges dropped

“By Nikki Mascali Roarty,” April 22, 2023 6:17 p.m.

“Alec Baldwin was seen holding a gun — backward — on the new rust set friday, one day after involuntary manslaughter charges were dropped against him in connection to the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.”

    Flip Wilson as Geraldine Jones:

    You know about my boyfriend, "Killer"?Ohh,he's a mean White man.You know what he did?He went off to make a movie in Arizona and shot two people--one of them--DEAD!

    Oh yeah,that's Killer all right.I won't say his name,but all you reading this on NSU,know who I'm talkin' about--KILLER B. Oh oh,that's the first letter of his last name--I let it slip right out,but you won't get anymore clues from me about who he is--not even the "n" at the end of his last name--oops--I done it again.But at least I didn't give y'all the "a" that's next to the "B"--THAT'D be bad--killer would get mad at ME for THAT--especially if I'd said what followed the "a" was an "l" and then a "d".Of course,all that's worthless information unless I told you the "w" and an "i" followed the "d"(laughs)He might've shot ME if I'd done THAT.

    But I didn't do that,so you'll NEVER guess who my boyfriend Killer really is--NEVER!

    As for me--whatchu see--is whatchu get--bye,y'all.
