The blogger Katie Vyktoriah has posted another story that has been picked up on the Huffington Post and elsewhere.

This time about her two year old son being assaulted and abused by a stereotypical redneck white man because he was wearing a pink headband in the store.

No, there is no surveillance video to support her claim, no police report, no witnesses, just her blog version about it.

This is also the woman that blogged about being kidnapped, about her experiences being sexually harassed as an airline hostess, and so on. All of which were later pulled as being falsehoods.

I'm sorry. Without substantiation, this one is just as untrue as her being threatened to have multiple pizzas delivered to her house.

Why even bother having the blog if everything she write's is a lie?

A creative exercise on her writing ability and how believable she can be as a character? :dontknow:
 
One reason is that there are those that will swallow these stories without any critical thinking at all, just as the Huffington Post, and MSNBC's websites picked it up without vetting the story at all, and once it is 'out there' it becomes truth.
