Broken clock and all that.

Because “news” these days is spread but fucking culture bloggers and randos on social media who have no professional journalistic training and don’t investigate and verify shit. The “listen and believe” mantra doesn’t apply to people who work in media, if you’re a journalist your job is to be as skeptical of…

She would have let people get arrested for her lies. It’s one thing to lie; to lie and implicate others as criminals is so, so much worse.

Congrats Jezebel for running this story. I read it earlier on dailywire and figured jezebel wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole, seeing as the anti-hero is female, minority, anti-Trump. But, you’ve risen above partisanship. Good on ya.

People are making excuses for her because she’s Muslim. Let’s call a spade a spade. If she was white and had made up some story about being attacked by balck people, peeople here would be lambasting her. Just to be clear (this is Jezebel I have to be clear unfortunately): making stuff up just to get attention is…

Let’s not forget that Ivanka vacationed with Putin’s paramour Wendi Deng in August.

It will change nothing, because the US intelligence community is too paranoid to release the actual evidence behind all this (assuming it exists) because doing so would show Russia how far we’re burrowed into their shit and compromise our methods and possibly people. They’ll take preserving that over fucking Trump,…

There is a reason the electoral college actually exists. It is precisely to allow congress to elect the next president. :P Sadly, because we have a two party system, somehow we always get to an absolute majority. Go figure. :/   In all seriousness, the concept is supposed to allow sober second thought. However strict…

The entire 2016 election needs to be invalidated. This is bullshit.

I’m surprised Jezebel had the integrity to publish this story instead of burying it. Good on you for maintaining a semblance of impartiality.

Between this and the Santa thing, I have such a high index of suspicion for everything now it is not funny. Sometimes if all the details just seem too perfect...

I’ve been following this story and this beautiful girl is clearly lying about a lot of crap. Her dad is probably pissed.

Right?! Going viral is clearly more important though. And then all the clicks it will generate as we investigate after the fact. SMH.

This. THIS. THISSSSSSSSSSS! Is journalism school even a thing anymore? I’m  not asking for Woodward & Bernstein here, just some basic fact-checking!

Yeah serious question; this story didn’t even pass the smell test yet major publications repeated it. We’re worried about fake news on Facebook but what about these journalists who are supposed to be unbiased and checking facts? It being a “human interest” story is no excuse.

Good lord. 2016, you have taken fact-checking from us along with Prince, Bowie, Thicke, et al.

Investigation? God you’re so ELITE.

What are journalists? You mean news celebrities?

I remember when journalists used to investigate a story BEFORE releasing it to the public.
