The nation's leading newspapers have asserted their role as the most important "independent fact-checkers" in politics. So why do they fail to fact-check their own interviewees? On Twitter, Jeryl Bier noted The New York Times had to add an embarrassing correction to a two-month old story on Friday. Reporter Trip Gabriel did an entire story on a Trump voter iin Erie, Pennsylvania changing his mind....except records showed the man never voted.
The original story on October 7 began: "Mark Graham, a real estate appraiser in this faded manufacturing hub, sat with friends at a gym named FitnessU on the morning after the Democratic debate in mid-September. He had voted for Barack Obama, but in 2016 he took a gamble on Donald Trump."

They search far and wide for the Trump Voter Who Changed His Mind. The same for the Pastor Who Supports Gay Marriage.

Gotta love it.

No wonder the news media laid off 7,700 people this year more to ensue.
That’s nothing. I was born and raised in Hudson County, New Jersey. I used to vote for Democrats all the time. In fact five times in every election.
It’s easier to make up stuff than fact check.
NYT. Again.
I wouldn’t even use it for birdcage liner.
No wonder the news media laid off 7,700 people this year more to ensue.
It’s a start.
They interviewed the guy on the local news here. What a POS. When I first saw the add I told my wife he never voted for Trump.
