Truth Alerts
One of the tabloids is recycling a fabricated story which we truth-alerted as false in 2004.
It's ridiculous to dredge up a 7 year old story about having a polyp removed. It must be a slow news day.
I’ve endured Larry Kramer’s outbursts in the past, not wishing to dignify them with a response.

The New York Post Page Six column, as usual, intentionally and maliciously lied by omission! Their story today (April 7) starts off: "Barbra Streisand has finally gotten around to reading" the latest unauthorized biography on her, when in facRead more »
