The most complete summary of this is here (I don't know the author)
Boston Globe Reporter Kevin Cullen Makes Up Lies About Being At Boston Marathon Bombing, Having “Second Hand PTSD,” Uses Real Victims As Props In His Disgusting Work Of Fiction

Kevin Cullen Lied about Mueller and Whitey Bulger and Dershowitz ate it up! See excellent DU post here (Retired federal judge Nancy Gertner in "Smearing Robert Mueller" in the New York Times refutes Cullen's lies about Mueller.
Here is the July 24, 2011 source of that "misinformation" and on Mar 18, 2018 Sara Carter gleefully dredged up Cullen's waste which caught the attention of the lie machine.

Kevin Cullen built a successful career wrapping himself in religion, the flag and first responders BUT his Boston Marathon Bombing Lies may be catching up to him!

From WEEI.COM

Kirk Minihane and producer Chris Curtis have unearthed several inconsistencies in Cullen’s post-Marathon reporting. In his first column about the bombings on April 16, 2013, “A perfect Marathon day, then the unimaginable,” Cullen writes as if he was at the finish line when the explosions happened...

In a subsequent interview with BBC, however, Cullen says he was “one mile away” from the finish line when the bombs went off. In a phone conversation with Minihane this week, Cullen said he didn’t get to the scene until a couple of hours later.

Despite Cullen’s now-admitted physical distance from the bombings, he’s continued to provide intricate details about the explosions at the finish line. In the HBO documentary about the Patriots Day bombing, which was released in 2016, Cullen says he heard victim Krystle Campbell’s “death wail” when the bombs detonated.

It looks like she reviewed Cullen's articles and filled them out with Hannity approved lies about Robert Mueller. She is a major Faux News contributor and deserves a shit storm.

I don't have a contact for her other than Twitter https://twitter.com/SaraCarterDC

She frequently goes on Hannity, here are recent appearances where Mueller is discussed

To quote Johnny Cash, I’ve been everywhere, man. Worked as a local, national and foreign correspondent before becoming a columnist. Served as bureau chief in Dublin then London. Did a few stints on The Spotlight Team, and was part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize in Public Service in 2003 for exposing the coverup of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests. In 2014, won the Mike Royko Award as best columnist chosen by the American Society of Newspaper Editors, part of the team awarded the Pulitzer for breaking news for coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings, and was Pulitzer finalist in commentary. The only two-time winner of ASNE’s Batten Medal for writing about the marginalized. Co-author of the New York Times bestseller, “Whitey Bulger,” a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. I thought Harvard had standards until they gave me a Nieman Fellowship.

columnist Kevin Cullen's Boston Marathon bombing columns.

In a column published on Saturday Cullen wrote about his challenges coping with the fifth anniversary of the deadly attack.

"I can smell Patriots Day, 2013. I can hear it. God, can I hear it, whenever multiple fire engines or ambulances are racing to a scene," he wrote. "I can taste it, when I'm around a campfire and embers create a certain sensation."

Minihane calls it the "worst case of journalism" he has ever seen. It is "100 percent fiction," he says.

Looking forward to reading these.

If you have a few minutes and haven't already heard this from The Moth it's quite an entertaining story told by Josh Bond who was Bulger's neighbor.

"Josh Bond lives in Santa Monica where he manages commercial and residential real estate. He also writes original music and performs solo and with his band, For the Kings. Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, he attended Boston University where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Film Production".
