evidence: This article has been one of many spreading around Twitter without any fact-checking. Another article claims that Blake Shelton canceled a $30 million deal with CMT – a deal that never existed in real life. There was another that said Luke Bryan pulled his videos from CMT, which he never did. However, that one fooled Neal McCoy, who seemingly believed it was true and stood in solidarity with Luke. There was even one that said Hank Williams Jr. quit the CMT board of directors, another fake story that gained traction.
