Our friends at Newsmax have more details on the disgraced reporter’s wrongdoings:
“After receiving an external correction request, USA TODAY audited the reporting work of Gabriela Miranda,” the paper wrote Thursday. “The audit revealed that some individuals quoted were not affiliated with the organizations claimed and appeared to be fabricated. The existence of other individuals quoted could not be independently verified. In addition, some stories included quotes that should have been credited to others.
“As a result, USA Today removed 23 articles from its website and other platforms for not meeting our editorial standards.”
Here is a reminder that USA Today is a known “fact checker.”
USA Today is a major “fact checker” for the social media companies too, but we knew they were really propagandists the whole time. https://t.co/U5ZXACyTm0
