True, it could be a fake story. I recall a month ago, when ‘sources were saying’ that KellyAnne Conway had gotten into a literal fist fight and struck a man in his jaw, while at a fundraising event. What? Really?
I found that both fascinating and shocking. But there was never any follow up, no photos, and most telling, no reporters dogged her with related questions.
So, I don’t believe that ever happened. Why the rumor was floated in the first place, I don’t really know.
Fake story? It was reported by Fox News. The people involved are well known and they were quoted by name.
Here’s a hint. A Story is fake if it’s reported by the New York Times, only cites anonymous sources and is anti-Trump.
