“This has all the hallmarks of a fake news story — no links to actual sources, an unknown “news” site, no credible corroboration, has been bouncing around the web with this bad sourcing, etc. — and IMO should be taken down from FR. “
I agree completely. Could be fake but accurate, but fake nonetheless.
While it wouldn't surprise me that things like this have happened, there is just nothing of substance backing this up. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a planted story by the left knowing that people would pass it on without doing any critical thinking because it fit in with some anti liberal talking points. The purpose of the story well may be to discredit conservatives who blindly site stories like this as "proof" of media bias.
