When they make it their headline, “Christians Face 47 Years In Prison. Because Philly Judge Calls Bible Verses 'Fighting Words'”, and “47 Years in Prison for Preaching? In America?”, yes, they are saying that it’s real. And that’s enough of an exaggeration to be a lie.
What about your statement that it included not only adding up all 5 persons charged but also those whose charges have been dismissed. Look at the news reports and press releases by their lawyer. They all say "up to 47" which is true. Even the Gay media reports acknowledge this fact. why can't you?
