Thread title claims she did develope ebola, article says signs of ebola, a very different thing. There is nothing in the news or on the web about this either.

I will copy and paste my reply to another commenter here. If you would read it? UnRec? WTF? 4bucksagallon Nov 2014 #42

So why leave the word "signs" off the title when it is 1st line in the story? uppityperson Nov 2014 #43

Because that is the headline on the website. Go to WAGM a Fox affiliate and read it. 4bucksagallon Nov 2014 #44

OK, thank you, I apologize as did not know that. In which case, wtf are they doing? uppityperson Nov 2014 #45

I don't know but I am getting more flak here about the website I used rather than the real story.... 4bucksagallon Nov 2014 #46

I wonder if you should edit the title, perhaps add a /Perjury? to it KMOD Nov 2014 #48

Well I've been a member for a long time but I don't post much here. 4bucksagallon Nov 2014 #51

It's not too late. It will help you, as people will not find your title misleading. KMOD Nov 2014 #61

If they are just going by the title and can't find the time to read beyond it........... 4bucksagallon Nov 2014 #62

The problem with your thread title... pinboy3niner Nov 2014 #66

The whole thing is nonsense and bullshit alcibiades_mystery Nov 2014 #67
