These days, everyone should do their due diligence on every source they use. To believe everything you read from every source, is just asking, begging to be lied to.
Evie, as already posted, is "Far-Right biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, propaganda, poor sources, false claims, and failed fact checks." with Low factual reporting.
They reference
The Post Millennial, which has a Right bias with mixed factual reporting "due to publishing unsubstantiated claims and having several failed fact checks."
It's not that it didn't happen; it's that they present it without some context, and with slanted language, to appeal to your outrage rather than inform you of the details of the story. Only a modest amount of critical thinking exposes numerous ways in which Evie misrepresented this story. I could list them, but instead, follow the links in the stories and see if you can find them yourself. There are plenty.
