Once upon a time, there was a wingnut fear monger who tried to generate fake outrage by misinterpreting a story printed in a newspaper. But the plan flopped, and nobody noticed this particular dumb thing. Not necessarily because it was any dumber than the things other wingnuts have come up with, but perhaps because it was out-dumbed by something else that day.
Now, it also happened that in this very same kingdom, there lived a podcaster who had a peculiar interest in trying to understand what kernel of truth might lie behind the dumb things wingnuts say when they hope to make people mad. And when this podcaster indulged this interest, he usually also learned something else that was actually true, and consequently much more interesting than the dumb things that the wingnuts were using.
This is the story of one such adventure!
