On 3 September 2016, the disreputable web site Associated Media Coverage published a hoax news article that reported an Idaho woman named Heather Watson had been sentenced prison for breastfeeding in public: While Associated Media Coverage does not carry a disclaimer labeling its content as fiction, this web site is a known purveyor of hoax stories, previously incorrectly reporting that an Oregon elementary school had banned the Pledge of Allegiance, that a dead baby was found in a Walmart bin, and that eleven states had placed a curfew on motorcyclists. Additionally, the official web site of the state of Idaho does not list a Baker County. While the story ends with a call for readers to contact the Baker County Department of Justice to complain -— (785) 273-0325 — belongs to the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, not a police department in Idaho.
