"My credit card was lost/stolen, and someone attempted to use it. Thanks for the notifications! This has been reported through my bank," she wrote on Facebook.

"Thank you for all the recent notifications of scammers and profile hackers! I recently discovered a lost/missing credit card and an attempted use/purchase. I appreciate your patience while I manage the situation," she wrote in a post on LinkedIn.

The woman's social media account has since been deleted.

However, this was discovered to be a false statement after the restaurant reviewed CCTV footage and confirmed that she was inside the restaurant, leading to her termination.

I'm absolutely losing it on Newsweek and their fair meter on that story....

Looking at the article, all they do is quote every involved party that responded. Her work, his work, him directly, and then state noted facts about her no longer working for her job and her direct quotes from social media...

And the meter pegging out under unfair left bias... Somehow.

The delusion is insane.

Just went and did my part, I found it very unfairly right leaning personally.

Bias can also show itself in which stories a publication chooses to publish, as well as which facts get reported and which are omitted. That said, this fairness meter thing is stupid bullshit, it’s a partisan vote button that does absolutely nothing to identify actual bias.

Yeah, good point. The story itself can carry a left slant from the purely "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" angle.

Stupid bullshit is exactly the descriptor for the "meter".
