There is a strong push to pass off the stories of Haitian immigrants in Ohio allegedly eating cats and ducks as “fake news”.

I haven’t retweeted on it because I am waiting for more information from direct sources.

That said, even the “fact checkers” in their attempts to debunk the story and write it off as “fake news” seem to be confirming the essence of the allegations.

The story of the woman stomping on a cat’s head and eating it is in fact a true story. The only disputed issue is whether or not the woman - Allexis Telia Ferrell - is Haitian or has anything to do with Haitian immigration.

There is also the photo of what seems to be a Haitian man walking around with what seems to be a goose. Details unknown, and I prefer to wait.

They said, there is a Mediaite article which attempts to “debunk” these stories as “fake news” that actually confirms that many of these issues have been raised in city Council meetings, including a story of a Haitian immigrant who decapitated a duck at a local pond for food.

Not much of a “debunk”.

It is an information war out there. A day before the debate. I have no doubt the left would love the right to run with a “fake news” story.

It is entirely possible the left plants a fake story for conservatives to run with, so they can then discredit any conservative who ran with the “fake news” story.

I also have no doubt the left would love to claim as “fake news” unfortunate true stories resulting from their immigration policies. Especially the day before the big debate.

Given how weak the fact check “debunking” is, and that the “fact check” seems to confirm certain essential elements of the stories, I am more inclined to think it is accurate than not. But I am still withholding judgment until further information.
