This article reminded me of an incident more than 20 (I have been corrected. Should read 10) years ago. The New York Post dedicated a full front page to a story about a murder linked to the Occupy Wall Street protests. A DNA sample was retrieved from a lock broken at a subway gate and it matched evidence from a Long Island killing a year or so prior.

It finely emerged that (1) the sample had been compromised by a lab technician and there was no match and (2) New York city had a backlog of 500 untested DNA samples from rape cases.

The city, in an OWS witch hunt, had gone to the trouble and expense to pursue a minor breach over 500 felony cases. The Post never issued a retraction. Exposure, however, did force the city into dealing with the backlog.

In their defense, the New York Post is an absolutely flooded toilet simmering in a dumpster fire.

I totally agree with your assessment of the Post but they were reporting a story pushed by the city and the police.

Occupy Wall Street happened in 2011... Far less than 20 years ago.

Kind of makes it tough to think anything else you said there was accurate.

You're absolutely correct. It's all pernicious lies. I tried to make it look like a typo but you caught me out. You clever dickens.

No shit I'm correct.

And you aren't informative or amusing.

Edited to add: being snide may be something you find amusing, but it would have been far less annoying if you simply corrected your error(s) and sourced your bullshit.

Just what is it you are correct about?

> you aren't informative or amusing

Sorry bud but no you're not.

And if you're reading comprehension is so bad as to not know that I was obviously correct about when OWS happened (and that you were obviously incorrect) then I'm definitely wasting my time trying to converse with you.

Get your head out of your ass, quit trying to be funny, and accept and correct your mistakes when you're called on them.

It's not hard.
