World Net Daily, Drudge Report and InfoWars all wrong. Thank goodness the National Enquirer had more integrity to wait for confirmation about a game of “doctor”.
Winston Churchill: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”
This is a perfect example of “confirmation bias” in action.
peppered with incorrect
And salted with lies…winger SOP.
BREAKING: “Playing ‘Doctor’” now identified as terrorist plot! Will they go after our precious bodily fluids next!?!?!
the lunatic fringe - we accuse, you bring the torches…!..
Since when do fringe news sites bother with such niceties as confirming a story with two independent sources? That’s the kind of “old” journalism only lame stream media does anymore.
Meanwhile, a just a few miles up the road a vicious racist assault actually took place by white football players on a mentally disabled black student.

“There is a small group of people in Twin Falls County whose life goal is to eliminate refugees, and thus far they have not been constrained by the truth,” he said. “They have not been constrained by the truth in the past, and I don’t expect them to be constrained by the truth in the future.”
This guy, on the other hand, sounds legit and ready to stand up for truth and decency. So refreshing, especially in some Idaho backwater.
Oh goodie…now every heinous thing that happens by a white American Christian will be blamed on creeping gang of Syrians??? It’s all Obama’s fault!!!
Neither Twin Falls nor Idaho is a ‘backwater’. They maybe CONSERVATIVE or REPUBLICAN and WHITE but that is a different kettle of fish.
The pathology involved in those wanting this fabricated story to be true is truly disturbing.
“…reports making the rounds on far-right news sites that a group of Syrian refugees gang-raped a child at knife-point…”
It’ll be a great day when working-class Americans realize their children are in far greater danger from GOP economic, healthcare, and gun policy than from helpless refugee families fleeing war and torture.
World Net Daily, Drudge Report and InfoWars all reported…
What, no Breitbart? That would make a complete set: The Four Horse’s Asses of the Idiocalypse.
“There have been periodic website postings about hundreds of Syrians coming to Idaho that have all proven to be false in the past, and this is probably just one of those attempts to try and stir up hatred and bigotry,” Loebs told the newspaper.
“There is a small group of people in Twin Falls County whose life goal is to eliminate refugees, and thus far they have not been constrained by the truth,” he said. “They have not been constrained by the truth in the past, and I don’t expect them to be constrained by the truth in the future.”
Diggin’ this guy’s style!
I’m very very glad this didn’t happen.
I wonder if he has names? And if he has names can he put them on the No Fly List?
“The Four Horse’s Asses of the Idiocalypse.” Is that yours? Sorry, professor, it’s mine now.
“There were no Syrians involved, there was no knife involved, there was no gang-rape,” Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs said Monday, according to the Idaho Statesman.
But…but…otherwise the story was completely true! Too close for comfort…Katie bar the doors!
“There were no Syrians involved, there was no knife involved, there was no gang-rape."
Other than that, a completely factual report.
