That
originated as an
AP wire report which stated:
At least one parent said Lanza’s mother was a substitute teacher at the school. But her name did not appear on a staff list. And the official said investigators were unable to establish any connection so far between her and the school.
So it was never more than a rumor. I blame Twitter. And people. I blame people. They say stuff that's not even so. And to reporters no less!
I wouldn't say that was a rumor, exactly. I'd say that AP accurately characterized it as something one person said that hadn't been confirmed, after which everyone started repeating it, with or without those worthy qualifications.
The rumor that I've heard is actually that it was spread by law enforcement. But I don't think that was intentionally disinformational.
I don't know which of you is worse. It's not a
rumour that the "Nancy Lanza was a teacher" lie was spread by law enforcement. It's a demonstrable fact that it was spread by law enforcement. QED. I posted a link just minutes ago, demonstrating beyond doubt that the claim that Nancy Lanza was a teacher at the school was spread --
in the early afternoon of Dec. 14th -- by an anonymous "law enforcement official", who also stated that Adam Lanza was alive and well and in police custody. As you very well know, because you just read that AP story and commented on it yourself.
I'll quote it for you again again again. (Don't mention it.):
So stop wilfully spreading disinformation, c2w, and stop trolling the thread.

Demonstrably not, in this particular thread. You are stating untruths, which are worthless. And you're doing it wilfully, knowingly and at interminable length here, which is why it pisses me off so.
