Arizona man clicked a Demon?

Reportedly a resident of Phoenix Richard Christianson snapped the picture while he was in Tucson, then loaded the photo into his Facebook account on New Year's Day.

"What the hell do you see in this picture for reals??? Anybody," he wrote in the caption. He has since deleted the post.

From the day photo got viral many news channels covered the following story.

This is what passed for people as a real news in an age where fake news are getting so much of attention. While many are pondering whether Breitbart.com or DailyKos.com should be considered as a fake news sites, so-called legitimate news sites are still continuing to run bogus stories like this one. Nearly all news outlets which covered this scoop poses the question breathlessly to their readers or viewers if the photo is real?

To give one recent example, The Christian Post, a popular Evangelical Christian news site, ran this story on Sunday with the headline: "Angel or Demon? Social Media Users Debate Winged Figure in Arizona Photo.

The photo of the so called demon, has been shared thousands of times over the past few days, the "news" was covered by the local and websites from across the world including various Phoenix TV news stations, KTAR (92.3 FM), and many others.

A popular news channel in the country reported the story as "Whether someone actually opened the gates of Hell or if it’s photoshop we may never know."

If people are struggling with the question that whether the demon is real or not, why should anyone expect people to be able to point to the biggest liar in a presidential debate?

Christianson, who went viral in 2015 with a video depicting him rescuing a cat, seems disdainful of people who are overtaken his demon shot.

When famous myth-busting site Snopes.com asked Christianson for a comment, he said that he had found the photo at Goodwill.

According to Snopes' Bethania Palmer Christianson wrote that "Stupid-ass people... I am done!"
