I recall reading this article about Bangladesh[1] from the site. Even for someone who know basically nothing about Bangladesh, it wasn't hard to notice major inconsistencies in their narrative; my analysis at the time[2]. It seems they took something fairly ordinary and tried hard to spin it into a "look how different these people are" (different in a bad way, for the most part, from my impressions) story to sell to Americans. Needless to say I take what they write with a big grain of salt.
