Please - provide links to my threads that put out verifiable fake news.

It happened once that I remember, and I had no problem cleaning it up.

I'll wait....

It is also possible the baby was indeed beheaded, the German government just didn't see the point of reporting it. (which I don't disagree with their decision if this was indeed the case.)

Beheaded or not beheaded, this man was sick. (severe mental illness)

Come up with a better mental health screening program seems to be more important.

Like I posted earlier,

The often traumatic reasons for leaving the host country as well as the potentially long and hazardous journey and process of resettlement increase the risk for refugees to suffer from a variety of mental health issues. While the screening for and treatment of infectious diseases has been studied and practiced for decades, the identification and treatment of mental health problems has lagged far behind. Complex and varied cultural contexts and languages, scattered refugee populations, and the relative lack of evidence-based interventions have made it difficult to carry out concerted and standardized efforts.

Sorry, but it has been proven the story was not banned. It was reported by many news outlets. The video does not show the attack.

documentation pls.
It alleges the German government is trying to cover it up and censure the media.

When in fact the German media reported it when it happened, 3 months ago.

The original source of fake news are 2 guys who publish online out of their apartment. They have no sources of information beyond their imagination.

Your source is click bait that primarily focuses and embellishes on anti -Muslim stories.

Does it matter if he stabbed or beharded or shot, or suffocated or set the baby on fire? The baby did not survive.

Why?

Fake news threads create opportunities to point out fake news/ click bait.

Deleting such threads would eliminate the opportunity.

True. However, as you may know, the usual culprits on here will still insist it’s not fake news, no matter how hard you punch them in the face with it.

Look at poor Drob-whatever, who came in so very eager to believe in this story of censorship and is now reduced to quibbling over the difference between "stabbing" and "beheading".
