Then this elderly guy has the nerve to feign victimhood at the hands of one obviously uncomfortable and confused youth while blue checkmarks rally to try and ruin these kids' lives.
They have to run stories like that, otherwise they wouldn't get as many viewers/readers because by the time they had facts everyone would already have heard about it and made decisions based on twitter and bloggers.
