I've noticed something on this board - Every one proclaims themselves as 'truth warriors', yet avidly defend obvious mistakes, fake news, clickbait as "well, it's ok to lie when our side does it!".
It's sad, because I think it's indicating how easy it is to fool this site as long as it confirms bias... not good.
Oh, no, I think the OP should correct the post title. Surprised he hasn't yet.
But I'd wager that most of the people who saw the tweet don't know who the actor is at all, yet still enjoyed it, because it's just such a perfect pwning that it has value on its own.
OP is using a lie as clickbait at this point. OP really should have fixed it by now.
Another thing about being a 'truth warrior,' as you put it. Truthers are overwhelmed as it is. Getting bogged down in the names of actors etc. is a waste. It's ok to be wrong on the small stuff. I know you're fearful of sharing a meme like this and being embarrassed, but I think it's more fruitful to explain to your recipients that you don't fact check the small stuff. Cuz it's better to take lots of shots on goal than a few perfect ones.
Even if you don't tell them upfront that you're not fact checking the small stuff, it's still going in to their heads. They'll say they don't believe your general worldview because of this small strawman. But they're only doing that to save face and avoid being wrong. Deep down they know that the name of the person who said it, as in this example, does not matter, at all.

It's not fooling 'the site' you're just witnessing our own NPCs at work. We have plenty of useful idiots on our side.
You're friendly :)
