Quote:In conservative media circles, questions raised about the sourcing quickly shifted to claims that the story was a lie.


“The idea that you would have politicians in America try to exploit a story like this and make up a story like this in order to advance their own sick agenda tells you they are not serious about the issue,” Fox News analyst Charlie Hurt said on Tuesday.


The Wall Street Journal, in an editorial on Tuesday, called it “an abortion story too good to confirm.” The Journal wrote that “all kinds of fanciful tales travel far on social media these days, but you don’t expect them to get a hearing at the White House.”


Under the headline “Correcting the Record on a Rape Case” Thursday, the Journal wrote that “it appears President Biden was accurate.”


“The country needs to find a rough consensus on abortion now that it has returned to the states and the political process,” the Journal wrote. “One way to help is to make sure the stories about abortion, from either side of the debate, can be readily confirmed. Passions are already heated enough."

Quote:The Washington Post, the conservative Daily Caller and other media outlets published stories saying that the case was unverified. The Wall Street Journal Editorial page suggested the story was a “fanciful tale.” The National Review’s Michael Brendan Dougherty referred to the case as “a fictive abortion and a fictive rape.”


Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost went on Fox News Monday to raise further doubts. He said he works closely with law enforcement authorities and he’d gotten “not a whisper” about the case. “What I’m saying to you is there is not a damn scintilla of evidence,” he doubled-down to the Columbus Dispatch next on Tuesday.


Hamilton County Republican Party Chair Alex Triantafilou on Twitter called the case, “A garbage lie that a simple google search confirms is debunked.”


State Rep. Brian Stewart tweeted the Washington Post story saying he “wouldn’t trust an abortionist to tell me whether the sky is blue.”



Ohio U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan tweeted, “Another lie. Anyone surprised?”

(It's really a question, because I haven't been following it) Do we have any proof that this ten year old girl needing an abortion even exists, outside of abortion provider who's pissed about the ruling saying she does?

No rape kit, no report of rape, not whispers among any of the Sheriff's offices or police depts. This story is going to fall apart just like

An acknowledgement that a police report for rape of a juvenile, as required by law, from any LE source, with the name redacted would suffice. It's so funny how when something fits your narrative, you require no proof at all. A simple allegation from an abortion provider being put out of business is all it takes for you.

Deflecting from a perfectly valid, and accurate, criticism of your stated positions isn't really a good look.  Say you're completely correct with your accusation, how does that change the fact that you're doing the exact same thing?

No, I don't like you.  But that doesn't change the facts at hand either.  Which you obviously realized since you gave up trying to make a fact based argument.  Let's be very clear, anecdotes should not be a national news story.  No one wants to invade this child's privacy, if she exists, but a national news story should be corroborated, just maybe?

(07-13-2022, 05:57 PM)Sociopathicsteelerfan Wrote: You'll please forgive me, but corroboration should, per journalistic standards, be done prior to a story even being published.  So, in this case, it didn't happen fast enough for anyone.


I love when you try and be clever.  It's not even dad tier and it never fails to amuse me.

Politicians said it never happened. Truth.

At least one poster in that thread wouldn't believe it until they had enough proof for themselves. Going so far as to say the doctor could have made it up for monetary reasons...which is why I believe they didn't believe it at all.

At least one other poster (that's you) agreed with them.
