Jews in general are pretty intelligent.
“An ultra-Orthodox rabbi falsely described the measles outbreak among Jews as part of an elaborate plan concocted by Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York to deflect attention from “more serious” diseases brought by Central American migrants.”
Sounds plausible to me; nobody will blame the immigrants.
So how does the paper KNOW that it is “false”?
Better reporting would leave out the word “falsely” in the above.
