Rantic.com, and emmayouarenext.com are hosted on the same server. They are connected to FoxWeekly, who where the first Website who broke the News about Emmayouarenext.

In their willingness to "Listen and Believe" the feminist victimization narrative, the mainstream media have allowed themselves to be used in a viral marketing scheme.
