Reporter resigns from NY Post over Harris book story

A reporter for the New York Post whose byline appeared on a story suggesting that copies of a book by Vice President Harris was given to children who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border has resigned.

I get that it's fun to dunk on libs but please stop sharing shit from the New York Post and the Daily Mail. They're literally rags.

If you must post it for a dunk then use an archive or screenshot it.

Stop using them for news, no matter how funny it is they're literally just lies.

You guys don't trust NYT because they posted Iraq War cheerleading but then fall for shit like this.

    I get that it’s fun to dunk on libs but please stop sharing shit from the New York Post and the Daily Mail. They’re literally rags.

    They're absolutely rags, but they will periodically report on shit that Dem-sycophant news sources won't touch. The National Enquirer was, for instance, the first newspaper to air John Edwards's affair.

    By all means, Trust But Verify. But it's foolhardy to dismiss a story simply because a right-wing rag is reporting on it.

      Might be a good idea to have a "rumors" comm where any source is allowed and then ban rags from news and politics. This way something like the John Edwards story could get some views, but there's at least a chance that people would treat it with skepticism until there's more trustworthy reporting on it.

        Given the size of this community and the inevitable "Is this real news?" struggle sessions that would inevitably erupt? Eh.

        Maybe if we start seeing more activity and the news-comm really starts blowing up, it would be worth the trouble to whitelist sources. For now, just leave the fact-checking to the comments section.
