I seem to be missing something.

Both links have been used at DU. They both contain a photograph of the same woman. Both stories are one hundred percent different. I mean on completely different topics. One says she was gang raped, the other says she had sex with a student.

I will be more than happy to elaborate. Both links have been used at DU. They both contain a photograph of the same woman. Both stories are one hundred percent different. I mean on completely different topics. One says she was gang raped, the other says she had sex with a student.

I was vague. I did it that way on purpose but shouldn't have. Thank you.

I am in the camp that advocates for creating a 'fake news' category for jury duty.

I don't do HuffPo, either (but not for the same reasons).

Seems it was fake news. It was to a different article on that site.

someone linked to that site, but not the article you linked to in the OP (AEB the responses).

The jury and/or MIRT did their job.

I guess I don't understand your OP.

Lol... I am pretty tired, so I thought I was missing something!

Edit: when you said 'link', I assumed it was to a specific story and not to a website.

This is the correct one for their story. Lazy, amateur mistake.
