Fake News: WND Baselessly Blames 'Leftists' For Nasty Comments About Bolling's Son
Topic: WorldNetDaily

Chelsea Schilling writes in a Sept. 11 WorldNetDaily article:

In the wake of the death of Eric Chase Bolling Jr., the son of former Fox News star Eric Bolling, leftists are celebrating the tragedy on Twitter, saying it’s “karma” and “justice” for the TV host who lost his job after allegations of sexual harassment.

[...]

When news of Bolling Jr.’s death surfaced, leftists took to Twitter to celebrate the tragic loss, calling it “karma” and “justice” for the alleged actions reported by the Huffington Post.

But at no point does Schilling prove that any of the comments she cites were made by "leftists." Making nasty comments on Twitter is not the exclusive domain of "leftists," even if the target of the nastiness is a right-wing TV host recently fired following allegations of sexual harrassment.

Since Schilling is making a claim she fails to support, that makes this yet another example of fake news at WND.
