Perhaps next time Art Bell will think twice about the power of the great net rumor..
Art Bell does NOT HAVE LIVER CANCER, his father-in-law does.
All much ado about nothing in the end.
Art Bell apparently thought he made 'it clear on his page' that his father-in-law was dying of cancer but hundreds of people didn't get that impression. It was not clear. The belief after the message was posted was that Art Bell was dying of liver cancer..
While it's sad that his wife's father is the person afflicted with the disease, it's clear that there may have been a misunderstanding about how quick rumors can fly and perhaps a misconception about how Facebook posting work. That or Airyn posted the message not realizing the implications: A night of rumors that a talk show legend is perishing, a posting from Whitley that Art is fine.. and nothing more from Art Bell on his own page.
Facebook is magical and devious all at the same time. We see great examples of that tonight.
