    Memes aren’t journalism, but this is a meme community, not a news community. However, one could argue that this is not exactly a meme, so your point is fair.

      I’d still like to get the sources. Otherwise, content like this is like disinformation spreads. Meme community or not.

        With the time you took to comment you could have looked it up yourself, and then with a bit more time you could have posted the sources here. You’re consciously choosing to not be informed, and to do nothing yourself and expect random people to do work for you.

            Not in a meme community, that’s not the point of the community

            You’re not a messenger, you’re whining because you couldn’t bother to Google something yourself

                  Two fundamental characteristics of internet memes are creative reproduction and intertextuality. Creative reproduction refers to the adaptation and transformation of a meme through imitation or parody, either by reproducing the meme in a new context (“mimicry”) or by remixing the original material (“remix”). In mimicry, the meme is recreated in a different setting, as seen when different individuals replicate the viral video “Charlie Bit My Finger.” Remix, on the other hand, involves technological manipulation, such as altering an image with Photoshop, while retaining elements of the original meme.

                  Intertextuality in memes involves the blending of different cultural references or contexts. An example of this is the combination of U.S. politician Mitt Romney’s phrase “binders full of women” from the 2012 U.S. presidential debate with a scene from the Korean pop song “Gangnam Style.” In this case, the phrase “my binders full of women exploded” is superimposed on a frame from Psy’s music video, creating a new meaning by merging political and cultural references from distinct contexts.

                  Wikipedia

                  This has no element of reproduction, nor intertextuality, or am I missing some key element here?
