You probably saw it, headline after headline proclaiming that supporters of Bernie Sanders shouted down civil rights activist Dolores Huerta with chants of “English only!” at a presidential caucus in Nevada. Deeply disturbing. The problem, that never happened.

You probably saw it: headline after headline proclaiming that supporters of Bernie Sanders shouted down civil rights activist Dolores Huerta with chants of "English only!" at a presidential caucus in Nevada.

Manage to conflate general shouting with shouting the specific words that are the focus of their own damn headline: "[T]here's video that at the very least backs up Huerta's claims that there was an awful lot of shouting and hissing while she was on stage at a Nevada caucus location.

Spend four paragraphs detailing Huerta's history of activist work, as if fighting for good causes means Huerta's every word is beyond question.

Discuss the broader implications of the "English only!" shout down as if that shout down actually happened.

BuzzFeed one-upped WaPo, citing two unnamed sources to say that the caucus went down just like Huerta said it did.

That's key: we can assume that Huerta would never intentionally misrepresent events and still demand that journalists substantiate the story.
