WGHP MyFox8 making it up, fabricates a victim

GREENBORO, NC -- Why is WGHP MyFox8 reporting, as fact, that a man was arrested after "he tried to send graphic images to a 14-year-old girl" when there was no fourteen year-old girl? The man tried to send graphic images to someone whom he believed to be a fourteen year-old girl, and the legal consequences of that are inescapable, but for a newsorg to report the existence of a made-up character as if the online creation was an actual victim is bad journalism.
