evidence: A recent fake news article about Garth Brooks got a lot of attention online after Texas Governor Greg Abbott shared it, thinking it was real. Sunday afternoon (June 25), Abbott shared a link to an article stating that country star Garth Brooks had been booed off the stage during a performance at the 123rd Annual Texas County Jamboree in Hambriston, Texas. The governor tweeted, "Go woke. Go broke." and "Good job Texas" with the link. But, the story, the jamoboree and the Texas town are completely fictional. [...] Garth Brooks has been under fire recently after saying that his new Nashville bar was going to serve "every brand of beer" amid the Bud Light controversy.
