The other day,an alert reader noticed that Chelle Lynne Anderson-Tesla had been profiled in a news report where she was again spreading the lies about her Purple Heart and her brain injury from a helicopter crash in Iraq. Of course, we’d already proven that was a lie<\/a>. We contacted the reporter, Surae Chinn, at WUSA9 in DC and told her about how she had been duped. Ms. Chinn was furious. At first she was so mad she wanted to ambush Tesla, or whatever name she’s going by now, with a TV crew, but instead, she and I Skyped an interview and she contacted what’s-her-name by phone. Well, here’s the story that went on the television<\/a> station tonight;<\/p>\n

Ms. Chinn said that what’s-her-name told her during the initial interview in the original story that Tesla was suffering from PTSD because she’d been across the street from the Hasan shooting at Fort Hood, so her lies were growing. Now maybe she’ll stop, but then again, maybe not.<\/p>\n

Chelle Anderson did return Surae Chinn’s call. Anderson says she has no military records to dispute what the Pentagon says. She also says she is not ready to make a statement on the record. Federal law does not see ‘stealing valor’ as a crime.<\/p>\n

But some lawmakers are introducing bills similar to the Stolen Valor Act that was overturned by the Supreme Court, to make people accountable.<\/p>\n

Surae Chinn: “In simple terms, My photographer and I were duped. We apologize for that. Our credibility takes a hit. I’m disappointed, mainly at myself for not checking. Now, I know you ask for someone’s military papers, there ‘DD2-14.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I commend Surae Chinn for making this right so quickly and I really don’t blame her at all. She was doing a great story about setting something right and she really had no reason to suspect Anderson-Tesla-whatever, and there was no need for Tesla to bring up her lies to make the story about her instead of what she was doing. Ms. Chinn was absolutely professional in her conduct, and I sent her my DD214 so she knows what one looks like now. But, she wasn’t the first reporter we’ve seen this happen to, and she probably won’t be the last, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
