The Wall of Shame still needs some editors to process this huge amount of info. CLICK HERE for more info.

Message from @stagerabbit

The plan (and we are kinda making this up as we go along) is to keep this page as a "raw feed" to document people's reactions to news stories rather than exercise editorial control. To underline: at the moment, this information is raw, and mostly unmoderated (any visible edits date from before we decided to maintain the wall as-is). We are working on an edited version of the wall, though it is not yet complete.

Severity of Offense Scores

1 - 2: Probably unintentional, and based on bad info that seemed legit

3 - 4: Not malicious, just misunderstanding of the situation
5 - 6: Reporting without checking easily-confirmed facts; lazy as opposed to malicious OR just dumb fluff piece using human tragedy as a background.
7 - 8: No fact checking; printing rumours as fact; sensational story more important than actual truth
9 : Fear mongering.
10 : Hysterical fear-mongering along with racial/cultural/political bias
11 : Satan
