No joke, they actually claimed that.
Via Newsbusters:
. . .That was in an article published Thursday hysterically titled “In Oklahoma, It’s So Hot The Street Lights Are Melting.”
If you go to that link now, you’ll find a completely different story with the headline “UPDATE: In Oklahoma City, It’s So Hot And Dry There’s Mandatory Water Rationing.”
Way down at the bottom is this:
UPDATE: After we published this piece, we saw reports from people on the ground in Stillwater that the melting streetlights were due to a nearby fire. The person who took the photo, Patrick Hunter, described the scene: “Being the person that actually took this photo, I’d say that this was due to a fire semi-close by coupled with the unbelievable heat we are experiencing. Still an amazing photo and not fake as many are saying on here. Enjoy!”
They are some fine journalists at that Soros-funded propaganda outlet, aren’t they?
