Kidnap hoax being addressed employer Jet Blue

Headline in NBC release "An American flight attendant was alleged to have been kidnapped in Jamaica. Authorities say it was a lie."

Then, how is that a story worthy of a headline? Oh, to make people click on it so they can make more money.

The "clicks" were on social media where she spread the lies. NBC reported this and suggesting it was a lie. Certainly a worthy story, that presented a rebuttal to her claims. While they (NBC) do get income from online content they are primarily broadcast media where they get their revenue from TV advertising, not "clicks".
