I'm not saying it didn't happen (a lot of things happen). I'm saying: who cares?
If it had no other purpose than to intentionally outrage people, why was it shown? Why were news consumers outraged, and why did this discussion happen? To further the cause of political divisiveness? Mission Accomplished. Meanwhile, many things that were actually important passed by without comment. The news is largely nonsense.

As a friend of mine says, "There's what He said, and there's what She said, and there's what really happened." And I agree about the one purpose being political divisiveness. Another thought I usually have is "Who stands to profit from this story and in what way?" You can usually follow the money trail back to the source.
