Writer turns bogus London restaurant into #1 rated on TripAdvisor

[Mike Nolan]

In an era where fake news is almost indistinguishable from real news, this is still an eye-opener.

I hope this link works, I'm never sure about whether sites behind paywalls let you post links or not:

Summary: A freelance writer turned a non-existent restaurant into the top-rated site on TripAdvisor. This both quite funny and very serious for those who use websites to plan their holidays.

For some reason the link keeps taking me to "Reply to Swiss Chard".

The same happens to me.

Thanks for finding an alternate source for the article, sites like the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal seem to be going out of their way to make it difficult to link to their stories. And because my computer(s) are already logged in to their sites, the links work for me, just not for others.
