...aaaand the story has been removed from Facebook and corrected on the originating news outlet's web page.
https://www.ktsm.com/news/local-news/ivermectin-causes-sterilization-in-85-percent-of-men-study-finds/FOR THE RECORD: A national story regarding Ivermectin and a study regarding its effect on men’s reproductive health that KTSM published, has been removed from our website.
Concerns over the scientific research methods, the veracity of the original, peer-reviewed report and public statements by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) saying that infertility is not a known side effect of Ivermectin all led to our editorial decision to remove the story.
I see they still insist on calling the source material "peer-reviewed" even though it's nothing of the sort. Anywho...
Actual facts, 1. Sensationalized reporting, 0.
Reporterette in question is Erin Coulehan. 2016 Georgetown graduate. Current Facebook Overview reads thusly ...
News reporter at KTSM 9 News, Stringer/Reporter at The New York Times and Social Justice Reporter freelance at Teen Vogue (Bolding mine. -Brad)
https://www.ktsm.com/author/erin-coulehan/https://www.facebook.com/ms.coulehan/aboutWoke Lib Reporterette thought she had a scoop, something she could wag in Trumpsters' faces. Screw core fundamentals of journalism, especially that part about always verifying your sources. It's a story that makes Woke Vaxxers look like heroes and all you ivermectin-ites look like idiots. Take that, stupid hick peasants!
The only thing news directors hate more than removing stories is admitting their story is BS. Here we have both. My guess is Reporterette's ability to sit comfortably is seriously compromised and her stories will get substantially more editorial scrutiny for a while.
Now if she would learn to use her Oxford Commas, we wouldn't be worrying about those peer-reviewed public statements.
