The mysterious, time-traveling gun – updated
In an update to the mysterious, time-traveling gun, KDT asked the press about their failure to factcheck and gets a response:
You are right. The statistics are wrong and we are removing the story from our website. For what it’s worth, the number were cited by Queens D.A. Richard Brown at his press conference. The other information in the story also came from the D.A. While we tend to give credit to law enforcement sources for knowing what they are talking about, we should have realized that the statistics didn’t make any sense.

So they are admiting that they repeat unsubstantiated claims verbatim without any fact-checking.
Nice.
