BREAKING: In the haste to turn out a story, many news sources make the false claim that “Octuplet Mom,” Nadya Suleman’s children *were* given Bible names, when, in fact, only five of the eight octuplets were. Furthermore, absolutely no news media has caught on or done press to the effect that only some of her children were named after Biblical names. See below:
