Only when it comes to the Middle East, reporting rumors is acceptable news in Western media

"Yesterday in Baghdad, Iraqi actor Karar Nushi was murdered due to rumours of his homosexuality."  We still don't know why he was killed and there is no evidence that he was killed because of his looks or whatever orientation.  The article is based on wild exaggerations and unsubstantiated claims--but exactly what the West loves about writing on gender and sexuality in the region.
