    Fox News has updated a report that initially said a woman accusing Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual assault had forged his entry in her yearbook.

    Beverly Young Nelson has accused the Republican Senate nominee of sexually assaulting her nearly 40 years ago when she was 16 years old.

    She told Tom Llamas, of ABC News, in a Friday interview that she made notes underneath Moore's entry.


    “Beverly, he signed your yearbook?” Llamas asked.

    “He did sign it,” Nelson replied.

    “And you made some notes underneath?” Llamas followed.

    “Yes,” she confirmed.

    A since-deleted tweet on the official Fox News twitter account had read, “BREAKING NEWS: Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama senate candidate.”

    Fox News has since updated the story with a note at the bottom of the piece while removing any references to “forgery” in it.

    "An update to this story reflects that Beverly Young Nelson admits writing what ABC News characterized as 'notes' beneath what she says is Roy Moore’s signature, and that the only notes below the signature are the date and location.
    "Furthermore, the headline on [the] story now specifies that Nelson admits to writing part of the inscription herself, rather than forging part of it."

    Breitbart News also called the additions a forgery but has not updated its lead story.

    “Bombshell: Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook,” reads the headline.

    Breitbart executive chairman Stephen Bannon, a former White House chief strategist to President Trump, has been a staunch backer of Moore and campaigned for him earlier this week.

    A special election is set for Tuesday between Moore and Democrat Doug Jones.

    Moore is accused of sexual misconduct and assault by multiple women, including one who was 14 years old when she says she had a sexual encounter with a 32-year-old Moore nearly 40 years ago.

    To summarize for everyone, the accuser only noted the time and location at the bottom of the letter. The reports suggesting that the accuser admitted to forging the message or signature from Roy Moore are false

    Doesn't matter how she tries to spin it now, she was caught being dishonest. There is no reason to believe her tweaked version now.

    Fake news in the MSM is the result of news outlets competing for being the first to report something instead of competing for accuracy. The initial reports suggesting that the accuser admitted to forging the letter from Roy Moore are false, the accuser only admitted to adding her own notes underneath Roy Moore's signature. The only notes under the signature were the date and location.

    At one time, media insisted on being accurate first.

    No longer.

    And by fake news, you obviously mean Fox News, Brietbart, and other proliferators of "alternative" facts espoused by the alt-right.

    Yeah. Which is why Fox News had to update the story title.

    Again, a misreport. The accuser's notes are under the signature, everything before that was written by Roy Moore. At no point did the accuser attribute the notes below the signature as being written by Roy Moore.

    Your own link kills the spin you're trying to dish here. Here it is again. You know what quotes mean right?

    Just stop. There is no hope of this rewrite gaining traction. She had every opportunity at the outset to mention she added notes, but as you can see above...she did not. She attributed the entire thing to Moore.

    It's your own link for crying out loud. Didn't you read it?

    Wrong. Not his signature. Everything you need to know to show the signature is not his is in front of you in this link.

    Once again, the placement of the quotation extending beyond the signature are a misreport. The accuser herself never attributed the notes after the signature as being written by Roy Moore. Posting a report on the letter with added quotation marks (that the accuser herself never used) does not add legitimacy to the misreport

    Again, your link dispels the rewrite you are attempting.

    That's a mistake too I suppose?



    Spin this.




    You guys aren't doing thorough enough scrubs when you try and rewrite things.

    Thread win, issue win, forum win.

    Moore's guilty as Quilty.

    That's why he'll never sue.

    By the way, the link I am referencing is the embedded one in the story you posted. This line:



    Go back, click it and I bet your "CTRL+F" will magically be fixed....

    The hyperlibs are so anxious to get another Democrat senator elected that, evidently, they will say and do ANYTHING -- except provide credible,verifiable EVIDENCE of Moore's horrible 'crimes' of forty years ago....

    Didn't the rejection of a rotten wretch like Hilarity Clinton by the American people teach these delusional, rabid Democrats anything?! We may have been dumbed-down during the past 35 years, but we aren't just totally knuckle-dragging STOOPID yet. And we still like the idea of a person being PROVEN guilty of something before that person is condemned....

    LOL....good lord man....sooner or later you'll see it.

    You don't even know whats in the story you posted. I even led you right to it above...and then you post this.

    Twice now you've called me a liar directly due to your own incompetence.

    So you were in fact referring to article that made the initial misreport, and not the article I linked which noted the misreport. Way to go

    Hey, you see it now? The link In the story YOU posted for us? Because afterall, you linked BOTH of them. Maybe you should proof read things so you don't wear the sunny side up.

    I accept your apology. Did I fix your CTRL+F too?

    The video alone debunks everything you are trying here.

    Your argument is illogical, at no point does anyone attribute the notes under the signature as being from Roy Moore. Your entire argument is based on the fact that the lawyer read the notes out loud. By that same logic, they would also be attributing the yearbook cover as being written by Roy Moore. Once again, you are asserting your own quote and end quote marks

    Any dummy can see that the handwriting is different from what the pervert Moore wrote.

    But even if one couldn't (And I'll admit I don't have the eye to see it)....the video was from the press conference. All one has to do is watch it.

    No mention of added notes. The entire thing is attributed to Moore.

    It simply is impossible to try and claim otherwise now. They tried to sandbag him with false evidence and are now trying to find a way to wiggle out of it.

    There's mountains of evidence against Moore.

    But it's all being ignored by hyper-partisans.

    Were Moore innocent, he'd sue.

    But he won't, because he's guilty like Quilty.
