But It Sounded Plausible And Made For Great Headlines, So....
-
You heard a lot in the last week about people claiming that they were the Orlando shooter's gay lovers, or how he was on Grindr, or how he was a "regular" at Pulse. And news organizations put people on claiming to have had sex with him, with no real challenges to the stories. They led to a lot of people concluding that the shooter's motivation was not terrorism but instead came from self-loathing. Now, the FBI says they've looked into all of that and have found no evidence he was gay and no evidence that the people you saw on TV were being truthful. Back to terrorism as the motivation. Think this'll get the same coverage the other stories did? (Los Angeles Times)
