So where did they find it?

Another matter.

The story was not about something that might happen -- it was about
something that did happen.  If false or a hoax, then reputable sources
should have uncovered that as a fact and not reported it without
confirmation.

Which gets back to the original statement of intolerance for those
who have different views.
