Bloomberg Politics Falls for Hoax

Post by SuperHornet »

Bloomberg Politics bit hard on a phony report that Nancy Reagan has endorsed Hillary Clinton. More lib rags failing to do basic journalistic due diligence before running with a story.

:roll:

NewsBusters is a wingnut media watch website that styles itself as "Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias." The site is an extension of Brent Bozell's hate group, Media Research Center.

While an ostensibly admirable goal to keep check on the media (quis custodiet ipsos custodes?[1]), it does not so much expose "liberal bias" as try to ram a Republican agenda in all over the place. The site also has a blatant anti-science agenda, often bashing stories on evolution and global warming that don't give time to wingnut creationist or denialist perspectives.
Sounds promising
