Here is the skinny on this type of fake news story featuring the headline, “blockbuster celebrity moving to your town soon”.  We have been bamboozled. We are not alone.  Consider how popular a headline in any small to mid-sized media market is with the headline, “Robert Downey has decided to move to our town”? Imagine something you read online turns out to be “not true”? Eyes opened, jaded yet? This is a very good example of a legit “Fake News Story” Now consider how harmless this content is compared to what some political leaders  try to tell you is not legitimate news or “fake” news, like man-made climate change?  Just think of the poor folk of Missouri city, who like us, got their hopes up that Robert Downey Jr. was coming to their town. Thanks to the crackpot team of fact-checkers at Durham Cool we have exposed this “trick on residents” of our two fair cities. Take a look at this second story from a similar source KPN7. Likely KPUR7 and KPN7 share the same parent. Same stock photo, same boilerplate language. Simply change the name of the city and you have the exact same story.  

“MISSOURI CITY, Texas – In a big surprise to everyone in Los Angeles, Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr reveals in a new interview that he is moving to the Missouri City, Texas area. He tells the magazine that he is “tired of the L.A. lifestyle” and is looking for a big change in life. “I’m just tired of the L.A. lifestyle and the fake people, honestly, and I feel like, at this point in my life, I’d rather just live in a place full of real, genuine people. I’ve been to Missouri City a few times over the years and the people there are real… they’re genuine, and yeah every community has its problems but the people there are good, decent people and they care about their community. Those are the things I find most important in deciding where to live,” Downey told the magazine. “I’m not retiring, I’m just looking for a change in life and I think I’ve found that in Missouri City, Texas,” Downey reassured fans. Let us know what you think in the comments section below especially if you’re a resident of the Missouri City, Texas area.”

Durham is cool, right? Have we been affirmed by this news? Perhaps Robert Downey Jr. likes, most of all, our lack of pretension and our welcoming attitude toward newcomers. Robert Downey is an Aries. Look out Durham, as we all know Aries men and women are powerful, charismatic, and live and love with passion and invention. Here is the information direct from “KPUR7 News DURHAM, North Carolina – In a big surprise to everyone in Los Angeles, Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr reveals in a new interview that he is moving to the Durham, North Carolina area. He tells the magazine that he is “tired of the L.A. lifestyle” and is looking for a big change in life. “I’m just tired of the L.A. lifestyle and the fake people, honestly, and I feel like, at this point in my life, I’d rather just live in a place full of real, genuine people. I’ve been to Durham a few times over the years and the people there are real… they’re genuine, and yeah every community has its problems but the people there are good, decent people and they care about their community. Those are the things I find most important in deciding where to live,” Downey told the magazine. “I’m not retiring, I’m just looking for a change in life and I think I’ve found that in Durham,” Downey reassured fans.
