black and white —

Did anyone ask to see the black and white proof of a “receipt” before writing the original story???

If not then why not —

It should be on record at the store unless the hard drive crashed?.

The sad thing is not only are they trying to make a buck off this child’s injuries, but $135,000 has been raised on GoFundMe. I can only imagine how little of that will go for the child’s injuries and how much for the family.

Facebook page is still active. In fact yesterday the aunt posted again saying the story is not a hoax. Desperately trying to keep the fake story going, wanting to rake in the most amount of $$$$

The only thing that has crashed is granny’s story:

<>KFC receipts fail to show the “mashed potato and sweet tea” order the family claims they ordered the day in question.<>

In the Laural Leader-Call article, the source pointed out other inconsistencies.

And so is FR...

Tell them to post granny’s receipt for the “mashed potatoes and sweet tea” —

Facebook is the land of gullible people.

So is Free Republic.

There are posts with links to poorly written pieces by semi literate agenda driven public school graduates working at the AP full of skimpy and convoluted and poorly researched (if researched at all) "facts" and half the folks here go berserk.

And when someone points out that judgement should be reserved until more solid information is found, they get lambasted for being in favor of the bad guy, the corrupt cops or the evil dog. Or prejudiced against the victim.

We all regularly rip MSM sources (deservedly so) until they publish something we agree with, and then somehow that is automatically factual gospel.

Report claims...

The key words. Can this report be trusted more than the original report it tries to debunk?

[Norm Lenhart]

Hard to believe anything these days. However I’ll stand by what I said on the original threads. Even if this turns/turned/whatever out to be a fraud, I have no problem believing libs would do something like mock a scarred child.

Shortly after high school many moons ago I worked as an aide at a facility caring for retarded people. Whenever we took them out into the community for meals, to the park, whatever, plenty of adults would openly ‘mirror’ their mannerisms in plain view. I knew many of these people. They were screaming lib types. I never once saw that behavior from someone I knew to be on the political right or solidly christian.

So as I said, it’s easy to believe a story like this because thats how libs act, what they do and who they are.

[Vaduz]

Per yahoo story the key words MAY HAVE BEEN are in play also the source isn’t stated sounds like a small time reporter is at play?.
When they have facts then t will be a true story you know how the media works it three to five days to get the facts right until then if a iffy story.

[Uncle Chip]

The whole story was started on the word of one person — the granny — no one else.

— the granny who allegedly takes her granddaughter on a feeding tube at the time, who just got out of the hospital, with two broken jaws, unable to eat solid food to a KFC for some mashed potatoes and gravy.

There is either something wrong with the story or something wrong with granny.

"Even if this turns/turned/whatever out to be a fraud, I have no problem believing libs would do something like mock a scarred child."

Bipartisan libs or franchisees. Who had the most motive and greatest likelihood of doing what they were accused of--the grandmother to devise and carry out such a plot without having even entered the KFC, or the franchisee to omit details and allege such a hoax (focusing on a word, perhaps, or a time of day)?

Individual franchisees of global corporations commit credit card fraud and all kinds of other crimes. Generally, they're no more credible than grandmothers. It's understandable, though, that some investors may be rather sensitive to controversial cases. A quick search can yield much more than the following.

I don’t disagree. But that doesn’t change what libs are and often do.

to be clear, if it is conclusive that granny did the fraud thing, crucify her upside down. Because she’s as bad as the libs are.

Lately, we find that video isn’t the evidence it once was. Facts only confuse people; just like truth seems to have little to do with most of what gets discussed these days.
Hoax or just a good story? A lively discussion was had by all.

[Mears]

Thanks for this——nice to be proven right.

I had doubts about the story and all I said was I hope the money actually went towards her medical bills and not on her shady family. I commented it would be the perfect scam.

Too bad KFC was taking such a beating that they felt they needed to donate the money before they could investigate if it even happened.

[crusadersoldier]

I knew this was a hoax the moment I saw it based on the fact that last time I was in a KFC the employees could care less about what a customer complained about.
