Local media, not the dumbass "reporters" like those who work for the Washington Post, were responsible for putting the damper on the "hoax" rumors surrounding the rape, pregnancy, and abortion of a 10-year-old girl.
The Star didn’t doubt the veracity of its initial story — Bernard had spoken on the record — but it wanted to learn more. By Monday, journalists there had turned to their sister paper in Ohio, the Dispatch. Both newsrooms belong to Gannett, the largest newspaper chain in the country, which has more than 100 daily publications, including USA Today. Gannett papers often collaborate because the news doesn’t always abide by strict geographic boundaries, said Amalie Nash, the company’s senior vice president of local news. “We’re configured that way,” she said. “It was very easy for our newsrooms who already know each other to mobilize quickly.”
As the team dug in, it experienced firsthand the difficulty of reporting on abortion. By definition, such stories involve a medical procedure, and physicians are bound by the law to protect patient privacy. Moreover, this one involved a child victim, meaning agencies such as child services have restrictions on what they can share publicly. “It’s going to be a very sensitive case where not a lot of people are going to have access to it, including people in the police department,” Krift said.

More men have decided they don't want to be hit with child support, so they are opting to get fixed before the USSC starts limiting contraception.
