Shutdown myths find home on social media

The article I read from the New York Daily News. This article explains that the government shutdown claims in social media are starting to get a little extreme. And for the twitter users, they placed two statements for this situation. The one is the Obama administration shut down the Amber Alert program because of the government shutdown, another one is the Obama administration shut down the ocean.Amber Alerts notify the public when a child has gone missing or is abducted. The alerts are put out by the Department of Justice and give information about missing minors. The public can then contact authorities if they recognize one of the children.The alert system appeared to be shut off over the weekend, due to the partial government shutdown. The shutdown of national parks has angered Republican lawmakers, who this week passed a funding measure to reopen the landmarks and memories but the Democratic-controlled Senate has refused to consider the bill.
