A table and chairs generate fake news

A table and two chairs in a meadow generated lots of news. Got this picture from WeChat and at first sight it made sense: it claims the farmer had requested a license to build a shed for his horses but it was refused. So he put a huge table with two chairs instead “as nothing prohibits putting furniture in a meadow”.

 

The real story

See here the real explanation:

Paarden met gigantische meubels als stal

It says in Dutch that it was simply a publicity stunt by a furniture manufacturer, done in Doellstaedt, Germany.

Yep, another hoax. You can’t believe everything you got on chat groups…
A lot of fake news on the Internet but also easy to get the truth. Just Google it!
