Perez Hilton has been claiming for a week now that Castro is dead. I would never normally visit Perez Hilton, but I found out via Twitter that Perez Hilton was breaking this story.

So, just to review, I found out one of the most important news stories of 2007 from A TRASHY GOSSIP BLOG… via TWITTER…

It’s possible that this story isn’t true. No reliable news media seems to be reporting it. Part of me hopes this story isn’t true, just so a bunch of NYTimes reports don’t lose their jobs over a Perez Hilton scoop.

If this is true, old media is dead.
