slick misinformation from Breitbart?

[Enrique]

I'm not questioning the death. The death is a fact.

But the part about homicide is very suspect to me. First of all, the link they provide to "Fox 25" does not lead to the story. First red flag.

Then, if I google the first paragraph, I get plenty of stories at reputable sites. It's a wire story. But I couldn't find any with the part about the homicide.

If I google the second paragraph, the one with the homicide, I get tons of hits but they all point back to the Breitbart site.

My suspicion is that the homicide part is simply made up by Breitbart. I could be wrong, my suspicion would be proven wrong by finding a single independent site that has anything about homicide. I only looked for a couple of minutes, but i couldn't find any.

From Fox 25 KOKH:

Police say a man has been found dead inside his tent at a protest at a park in downtown Oklahoma City. Fellow protest participant Mark Faulk says the man was in his early 30s and was homeless. Faulk says the man had delivered a passionate speech Sunday night about the problems of homelessness and drug abuse.

Police say they will treat the death as a homicide until toxicology reports are complete. <------ Breitbart lie?

1. I think I just read somewhere a few hours ago that the police did not consider the death suspicious.

So, yeah, it looks like spurious reporting.

3. Yes. Washington Post: "police say death not suspicious"

5. Breibart only feels fulfilled when he lies

He couldn't handle a job as a real reporter. Too boring. His entire schtick is to pull a slick fast one on the world and enjoy high fives from the Freepers and similar nutty psycopaths.
