iReport —

Just two days ago an iReporters created a video that reported

news that Apple CEO Steve Jobs had a heart attack. The result was a

drop in Apple's stock price before the iReport team got wind of the

news that the video's report was false.

 

They took it down 20 minutes later. 

 

For

some reason, some want to blame CNN for this situation. CNN's not at

fault because the video was never tagged for official use by CNN.
