There is too much fake news mixed into things to have much trust in the news, especially when it is this close to an election. "Fake until proven unfake" is the safer approach to news now a days

But Kevin, this story is so sickening surely the emphasis should be on an assumption of its truth and the necessity that it be fully investigated, rather than dismissal with this verbal shrug. Fake news and partisan exaggeration exists across the political
divide, yes, but adopting a "guilty till proven innocent" attitude to news involving blatant human rights abuses seems the height of cynicism.
The Guardian have picked up the story now.
