What a priori evidence do you have that it's fake? In Bayesian terms, what's the ratio of fake hate crimes to actual reported hate crimes? Is it significantly greater than, say, 5% or are you just in the habit of interjecting "fake news" whenever someone reports a crime that doesn't fit some narrative? It's really unproductive to take that as a default stance unless you have some statistics to back it up. For what it's worth, this follow-up story consists of verifiable claims. I personally confirmed a couple of the salient points using archive.org: http://www.masslive.com/news/worcester/index.ssf/2017/01/nitrofreeze_website_removes_me.html It doesn't confirm any details of the case, but the sudden (some time within the nearest available sampling window) retroactive and silent removal of a July blog post is strong evidence that something happened with Robin Rhodes that the company considers to be an embarrassment. |
Where did I say it was fake?
