Boston Globe Reporter Kevin Cullen Makes Up Lies About Being At Boston Marathon Bombing, Having Second Hand PTSD, Uses Real Victims As Props In His Disgusting Work Of Fiction
Kevin Cullen Lied about Mueller and Whitey Bulger and Dershowitz ate it up! See excellent DU post here (Retired federal judge Nancy Gertner in "Smearing Robert Mueller" in the New York Times refutes Cullen's lies about Mueller.
Here is the July 24, 2011 source of that "misinformation" and on Mar 18, 2018 Sara Carter gleefully dredged up Cullen's waste which caught the attention of the lie machine.
Kevin Cullen built a successful career wrapping himself in religion, the flag and first responders BUT his Boston Marathon Bombing Lies may be catching up to him!

From WEEI.COM
Kirk Minihane and producer Chris Curtis have unearthed several inconsistencies in Cullens post-Marathon reporting. In his first column about the bombings on April 16, 2013, A perfect Marathon day, then the unimaginable, Cullen writes as if he was at the finish line when the explosions happened...
In a subsequent interview with BBC, however, Cullen says he was one mile away from the finish line when the bombs went off. In a phone conversation with Minihane this week, Cullen said he didnt get to the scene until a couple of hours later.
Despite Cullens now-admitted physical distance from the bombings, hes continued to provide intricate details about the explosions at the finish line. In the HBO documentary about the Patriots Day bombing, which was released in 2016, Cullen says he heard victim Krystle Campbells death wail when the bombs detonated.

(5,644 posts)It looks like she reviewed Cullen's articles and filled them out with Hannity approved lies about Robert Mueller. She is a major Faux News contributor and deserves a shit storm.
I don't have a contact for her other than Twitter https://twitter.com/SaraCarterDC
She frequently goes on Hannity, here are recent appearances where Mueller is discussed

(5,644 posts)In a column published on Saturday Cullen wrote about his challenges coping with the fifth anniversary of the deadly attack.
"I can smell Patriots Day, 2013. I can hear it. God, can I hear it, whenever multiple fire engines or ambulances are racing to a scene," he wrote. "I can taste it, when I'm around a campfire and embers create a certain sensation."
Minihane calls it the "worst case of journalism" he has ever seen. It is "100 percent fiction," he says.

If you have a few minutes and haven't already heard this from The Moth it's quite an entertaining story told by Josh Bond who was Bulger's neighbor.
"Josh Bond lives in Santa Monica where he manages commercial and residential real estate. He also writes original music and performs solo and with his band, For the Kings. Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, he attended Boston University where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Film Production".
