National Enquirer type bullshit

Tabloid through and through! CNN, the most trusted name in FAKE News!There was no truth to this story. The newspaper clipping shown above originated with the Sunday Sport, a British tabloid that publishes a mixture of softcore pornography, gossip, and outlandish stories such as “Donkey Robs Bank,” and “Aliens Turned Our Son Into a Fish Finger.”
In addition to the story’s dubious source, the photographs included with it were also suspect. The image purportedly showing Harry “The Wolfman” Harrington had been circulating online since at least 2009, and one of the mugshots purportedly showing either “Garfield Morgan” or “Kim Gorton” actually depicted a man named Michael Patrick Kelly who was arrested in 2004 for lewd conduct with a minor.
The premise of this rumor was repurposed in September 2017 for a fake CNN news article which claimed that two looters (now named James Tobbes and Michael Smith) were sodomized after breaking into a home during Hurricane Irma.
