George Soros Suffers Massive Heart Attack While Visiting Hungary-Reported as Fiction!

Summary of eRumor:

George Soros suffered a massive heart attack while visiting Hungary on Christmas Eve.

The Truth:

There aren’t any credible sources to back up claims that George Soros suffered a massive heart attack while visiting Hungary on Christmas Eve.
The report appeared a Your News Wire on December 25, 2017. Appearing under the headline, “George Soros Suffers ‘Massive Heart Attack’ on Christmas Eve in Hungary,” the report fails to cite any verifiable sources.
And Your News Wire has a long history of publishing fabricated stories that portray Democratic and progressive leaders in an unflattering light.

Social media users react to false reports that George Soros suffered a major heart attack in Hungary on Christmas Eve.

The report about George Soros’ heart attack claims that the billionaire philanthropist and progressive booster collapsed while touring Central European University in Budapest. The story cites “reports in Hungary’s liberal media.” However, reports of George Soros heart attack didn’t appear in Hungarian media.
Given the shaky reputation of Your News Wire, and the lack of credible sources, we’re calling this one “fiction.”
