Benedetti is an Italian schoolteacher, who has gone about
faking the identities of world leaders and news makers on
Twitter to fool editors and journalists into publishing false
stories. In an interview he gave with the paper in March of

“Social media is the most unverifiable
information source in the world but the news
media believes it because of its need for speed,”
he said.
