FAKE NEWS!!! T-M-Z Put On Blast For Putting Out A FALSE REPORT About Maya Angelou Being Hospitalized!!!

: MediaTakeOut.com just learned that the folks over at T-M-Z may have jumped the gun when they reported that poet Maya Angelou was hospitalized.

Yesterday evening, TMZ posted a report that the legendary author and poet was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital.

But according to a report today on CNN, "Contrary to TMZ report, Maya Angelou is fine, at home, & wasn't even in LA Sat nite, said her literary agent Helen Brann."

For the record - MediaTakeOut.com received the same report that Maya was hospitalized. We made the EDITORIAL DECISION to hold off on reporting it when we were UNABLE to confirm the report.

Ain't that something ... our fact check policies are more stringent than TMZ's ...

MaliaRichards

ssxxysam

THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES SO FOR ALL THE LAZY BLOGGERS BEST TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH FROM NOW ON


FerociaFierce

like MTO never screws up....


SmallOhm

I wonder why I have never seen a report on T-M-Z about how MTO reported a false story? Or anything about MTO at all? Oh yea...BECAUSE THEY HAVE BETTE SH!T TO TALK ABOUT! A hit dog will holla MTO...please focus...Glad she is ok!


l00mmh

I'm surprised mto is upset because they don't get acknowledged for being the source for all the latest info. Mto's headlines are meaningless. I will admil its entertaining at best. NEVER will I EVER take this website seriously. Its sounds like an oversexed homo (I mean sambo) who's friends with Wendy is having a bit>ch fit. Mto's topics scream self hate. Bad weaves, who's gay, who lost their shine, and big booty girls is what mto represents. Nothing else


LuckyS

I thought you guys were friends with the people over @ t-mz??!? Oh and MTO puts out false stories pretty much everyday.



MsVlicious

Juicy_Dee

TheRose

Like MTO has never made a false report or jumped the gun. I doubt yall got the news too about her being hospitalized. I bet she was hospitalized, but they are covering it up.

love2screw

looking @ Ms Angelo's pic i can see why they reported her being in da hospital.


MaineSourceOfficial

that's messed up! check out the website let us know what you think www.mainesourceofficial.com leave comments for us


nicdraw

T-M-Z is still way more reliable and they have actual reporters, camera-men, and photographers. This site just steals all their stuff or posts made u stories.



the_realist

Ummm. She was in the hospital. Other sites reported and so did the news. What it is, MTO didn't get the info and they're mad. It was all over the news.


MSKARMANYC

MTO yall do fake stories all the time. We know that all your staffers do is search the internet for stories from other sites. Its not like yall are real journalists. All the gossip type sites are the same. I like coming here because sometimes I may to leave a comment but mostly to read the comments because many of the comments are mad funny. No one takes your site serious MTO.


AlreadyNYoDreamz

U know u made it when other sites be on your ass reporting your mistakes...

THIS IS NOT NEWS MTO!

Kadaj

Kind of like when MTO reported they had the winner's list for the 2009 M.T.veee awards and even posted a fake arse memo with letterhead and not one of the categories were right from that fake memo posted BY YOU.

To quote Mariah Mto...You a mom and pop. (TeeMmmZyee') a corpotation.

Sit down small timers. You can't even outscoop bb[SPAM].


sotochick
