Zion Story Exposes How Sites Paint Duke in Negative Light for Clicks

The Zion “case” gets more pathetic day after day. The latest development is laughable. But does that does not stop sites all over the internet from making sure they get their clicks from the anti-Duke crowd by using headlines that paint Duke as a guilty party.

Let us start with the part that is being completely ignored by the media. The drivers license that was used to authenticate his signature on a letter confirming receipt of an impermissible $400K loan looks like something you would see your local teenagers use to try to get into a bar. In fact, it appears far less legit than your average fake ID.

His weight is listed as 6’06 and his height is listed as 284. I am no Sherlock Holmes, but this appears to be a blatantly fraudulent drivers license to me.

However, a quick Google search for “Zion Williamson” will reveal the truth about the narrative we are seeing from the media at large. There is a very obvious agenda at hand: create a scandalous title to lead readers into believing violations have been committed by Duke.

These are just headlines from a few of the many articles floating around the internet right now. Sad to say, but this is not surprising. One of the laziest ways to get clicks on the internet is by publishing anything that is remotely anti-Duke. Authors know people who dislike Duke are abundant and would rather generate clicks off this group hate than publish actual unbiased news.

The obvious agenda is to paint Duke in a guilty manner. What should be all over the news is what a joke this “evidence” is. This is supposed to be a key piece of evidence against Zion and it looks like something McLovin would have used. That is what the story should be. But that does not fit the anti-Duke agenda.
