    Missing honeymooners in the South Pacific. Two couples, one from British Columbia and another from Australia, were reported missing on the islands of Bora Bora and Fiji. Warnings have been issued for travelers going to the South Pacific Islands.

    Has anyone else heard this story or heard of Global Digital News? Is this real or fake?

    Not unusual, and I don't think this belongs here. missing vacationers, probably kidnapped and/or murdered. isn't that usually the case?

    Don't think what belongs where? Are you referring to the post, itself?

    This is the Media Forum. It was a question of whether a particular item reported in the Media, and the Media web site reporting it are real or fictional. Where else would it go?

    Now, in response to the OP, I say, "Does it matter?"

    True or false, does what happened to four people on a couple of tiny islands in the middle of a body of water that covers half the Earth really have anything to do with anyone else other than those four people and maybe a handful of others?

    One of the reasons I don't watch television news it because it makes people think that things that have absolutely nothing to do with them is somehow important. It screws up people's priorites, big time.

    Worry about yourself, and what's going on in your own house. It's too bad about those four people, but there's nothing you can do about it, and it doesn't affect you. So, go on with your life.

    yes. How many people go missing everyday? I think there's bigger issues to discuss.
