"Doctors in Fortaleza, Brazil are testing the skin of the popular tilapia fish as a bandage for second- and third-degree burns...Animal skin has long been used in the treatment of burns in developed countries. But Brazil lacks the human skin, pig skin, and artificial alternatives that are widely available in the US."

This is an oldie but a goodie. German man takes in 24 Syrian refugees over a period of a few months. Turns out they're lovely and the media has lied about them in most ways that it's possible to lie.
