Your source for mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey.
The press industry continues to display its dysfunction as they try to grapple with the effects of the election. There is a small herd of reporters swarming Mar-A-Lago while Donald Trump works on his transition and building his cabinet. The same journalists who decry misinformation whenever possible, and decry social media as a source of news for many, concocted a fake medical issue for the president-elect and raced to social media to spread the fake news.

Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media malpractice and misinformation.
