On 14 May 2016, the web site Associated Media Coverage published an article reporting that a transgender woman had been shot and killed in the restroom of a Colorado department store. According to the story, the murder took place after the store copied the bathroom policy of the Target retail chain regarding transgender customers and employees: The sensational claim is one of several hoaxes recently promulgated by Associated Media Coverage. The site also spread a false claim about a motorcycle curfew in March 2016, concocted a story about an FDA e-juice ban, and followed those up with a fabricated claim about several jurisdictions codifying a two pet maximum ordinance. Although many fake news sites include disclaimer notices informing readers that their content is fabricated, Associated Media Coverage does not. (A small About Us link at the bottom of each of the site's page is not operational.)
