I HIGHLY doubt Conroy ever said it.

This is the whole problem with misinformation these days.
Somenody random says something and now we the readers start believing it and taking it as fact. Elections are won on this tactic these days. It's a huge probem with social media, forums...etc. we need to do a better job calling out misinformation when we see it.
