"Hate Crime" Reported on By Washington Post 15 Times Turns Out to Be, Get This, a Hoax; Washington Post Refuses to Run a New Story On the Hate Hoax

Old news, but whatever:

Shortly after the election last year the media became obsessed with a rise in reported hate crimes. One incident which was widely reported at the time involved a church in Bean Blossom, Indiana which had been spray-painted with a swastika and the phrase "Heil Trump." A slur for gay people was also painted on the church. This week police revealed the crime was actually a "false flag" carried out by the church's own organist, who is himself gay.

In its initial report on the incident, the Washington Post quoted Rev. Kelsey Hutto on her decision to leave the graffiti in place for a few weeks. "It's no secret that the atmosphere of hatred has kind of permeated the nation right now," Hutto told the Post. According to the Daily Caller, the Post mentioned the incident in 15 separate stories.

Although this is now four days old, it remains unreported by the Washington Post as a freestanding, new news story.

A google search for the Washington Post fails to disclose the name of the hoaxer ("George Nathaniel Stang"). A search of the Washington Post's own records turns up only this -- quite down the page, which is where they want it to be:


Acts of Faith

This Indiana church was defaced with "HEIL TRUMP" graffiti -- and is keeping it

By Sarah Larimer

November 15, 2016

Note the headline remains at the Washington Post. Also note the date-- from six months ago. This is their original story -- they just added an update to it. Without changing the headline to "HOAX "HATE" INCIDENT IN INDIANA" or whatever.



Update May 8, 2017: The Brown County Prosecutor’s Office charged George Nathaniel Stang with institutional criminal mischief, following a lengthy investigation. Stang, 26, was the organist at St. David’s Episcopal Church, according to a news release. "Stang stated that he wanted to mobilize a movement after being disappointed in and fearful of the outcome of the national election," the release stated.

That's the only Washington Post reportage on it -- adding an update to a six month old story that no one will see unless they search really hard (I didn't find it on my first look, as I was expecting it to be, you know, in the past week).

And they kept the headline intact.

And the rest of the story, too, it appears, though I wouldn't bet against stealth deletions.



Published on Nov. 15, 2016:

The Rev. Kelsey Hutto said she learned about the graffiti from an organist, who had arrived at St. David’s Episcopal Church on Sunday morning.

Hutto called the authorities and went to the central Indiana church herself, where she saw what had been spray-painted on its walls.

"HEIL TRUMP," read one message.

Etc. The rest of the story is just the same from November 15, 2016, same narrative, same panic about an explosion of hate crimes.

It's just -- the entire thing was false from the start.

And they just added this "update" to a flagrantly wrong story today, despite the fact this broke last week. And they still haven't given this story its own, you know, story. Just a parenthetical update to a long-buried story they hope no one will see.

Democracy Dies in Darkness, doesn't it?

Because most of their 'readers' don't read past the first paragraph before they start posting the article all over social media. The headline gets recirculated over and over. And thus a meme is reinforced.

38 Mr. Stang didn't know that Trump is really outwardly the most gay friendly President we've had? Also, he's the church organist. Quite a few organists/musicians are gay, but maybe sprayy painting the church where you work-and an Episcopal Church at that-which ordain gays and performs marriages for gays-is probably not rthe best thing to do to start an uprising?

46 It's deep in their DNA. Back in PostWatch's heyday, I and a reader teamed up for multiple emails to then-ombudsman Deborah Howell to correct one of their more indefensible fictions. It took awhile but Howell eventually acknowledged the error in a column.

Was the original story corrected? Nope, at least not as long as I was checking it. She ended her tour there around 2008 (and I'm sorry to say, passed away two years later), so this kind of behavior is shall we say traditional.

The Post, the church, the SPLC, etc. all used this "crime" to accuse Trump of creating a climate of hate, and accused his reporters of being racists. There were people intimidated and slandered - just not the ones that appeared to be when it was taken as legit.

When are we going to have a national conversation about whites/Christians/conservatives who have been repeatedly slandered by this persistent stream of hoax hate crimes made to look like they are done by them?!?

102 89 Why Do All These Bigots Refuse to Commit Hate Crimes Against Me?
Posted by: Nathaniel Stang


Reminds me of the reasoning behind the infamous U.N. report which accused the Israeli Defense Force of committed "race bias" because they DIDN'T rape Palestinian women -- because any normal soldier is expected tot rape women they find attractive, thus the fact the the Israelis refused to rape Palestinians proved that the Israelis were "dehumanizing" them.

Logic!

Because the SJW's on campus think it will be totally awesome to commit one of these crimes and blame it on Young Republicans, because of course, that's their nature. Conservatives are just reich-wing haters, so even if it's not true, it should be. Because we think it is.

There's an old Strawbs album that has a church organ on one song (the brilliant "Grace Darling"). The band's keyboardist found that he couldn't do it, and they had to hire the church's organist, because there was a long delay for every note or chord, and you can't play exactly in time with the music, you have to be ahead of it.

186 Hadrian- I coveted my Mothers Catholic Bible and when she was ready to die she asked me what I wanted.

Mom - I want your Bible. 90 years old , gold leaf and Pristine.

After her death I sat down with it and read the first 100 pages. I immediately sent it to the Catholic Church in the small Missouri town my Mother was born in.

I refuse indoctrination.

187 I've been listening to an Audible book called Deep Survival, which examines the differences between people who survive in crisis and disaster and people who die.
One common quality held by survivors is gallows or black humour. Much of the humour on AOSHQ is a survival mechanism.
Just a thought.

Matthew Sheppard. I do believe that the guy who killed him was gay, too.

There was a creepy story in a gay rag a couple years ago that said, "We needed that narrative at that time."

214 The desire to (and moral flexibility to) suborn reality to ideology is not new, it's probably as old as mythology (and certainly made explicit at least as far back as Plato - my memory of ancient Chinese traditions has faded so I couldn't give you the equivalent. Long before Confucius, anyway.

It also gets a lot easier the farther away the event is, in one way or another.

The problem is there isn't nearly as much incentive to correct the record as there is to mold the record to suit your agenda. No matter what the field, those who specialize in corrections are a tiny percentage of those who specialize in agendas (and this includes science, as "office politics" political as peer review is).

In addition, the correctors often have an agenda of their own, even if it's tangential to what they do.

And everyone claims to be on the side of correction (as long as the correction doesn't disturb them).

What I'm saying is that you're outnumbered, and probably sometimes wrong yourself, and nobody cares, and you might be on fire.

It sucks.

Smart enough expert systems (computers) *might* help, but are of course subject to GIGO. We could find ourselves in a position where future "computer assistants" *inadvertently* filter out a lot of bullshit from society, by applying better "does this even make sense" filters to multiple reports.
