(154,021 posts)I am just telling you that there is a LOT MORE to that story than FNC or New York Post is telling you.
Digging really deep means CALLING this father and asking some pointed questions... Since I am in San Diego, and we rarely do stories outside the county (though we are right now)... well I have to call the Sheriffs on a guy who escaped after murdering somebody on Tuesday. That be in San Diego County.
But word of advise, anytime you see any explosive story that is NOT picked outside a series of publications owned by the same owner, that raises some questions. The exception to this rule are Reuters and AP, since they are picked up by like everybody and their sister.
Will give you an example since I used Debka as an example, We are working on a story involving Syria. Debka, which writes some creative news... mentioned a base on the Latakia mountains for Bashar el Assad and his cronies. Ok... that sounds interesting, even half way plausible. When I did a deep google search I got one FB page claiming same... after that BUCKUS... you think I believe Debka on this? They have a history of creative writing... though they are good for fiction ideas, I will grant you that.
FNC has a similar problem, especially after it's problems in the UK. And the NY Post is known to be creative with their news. Remember News of the World? They have similar issues.
