Fake News:
CNN recently promoted the story of a “mom” of three young children who was nervous about being evicted amid the federal eviction moratorium. The liberal network even pushed a GoFundMe to help her cover the rent – but it turns out she wasn’t the mother after all.
Speaking of fake news… A video emerged of a Colorado Rockies fan yelling at the team mascot, Dinger. “Journalists,” and even the Colorado Rockies as a whole claimed that the fan was saying the “n” word.
