USA Today said it has deleted 23 articles from its website after an investigation found that the reporter who wrote them used fabricated sources.

The journalist who is said to have used the fabricated sources was identified as Gabriela Miranda, a breaking news reporter who resigned from the Virginia-based newspaper weeks ago, the paper confirmed Thursday.

Miranda’s most recent news story for USA Today is dated April 17.

According to the bio on her website, Miranda was assigned to cover “trending news nationwide” while at USA Today.

Before being hired by USA Today, she covered education and the Hispanic community with the Gainesville Times in Georgia.

The Post has reached out to USA Today’s parent company Gannett as well as Miranda seeking comment. Miranda has deleted her LinkedIn account.

She’ll land on her feet somewhere else. Likely on a Dem campaign staff.

Thanks. Didn’t see that initially.

So, by my rough count, 30% of her articles are political, i.e., abortion, “antivaxxer”, Cuba protests, etc.

Did her “fabricated sources” advance the left’s agenda?

The ONLY THING the sleazy Left really cares about is plagiarism or made up sources.

Describing Gabriela Miranda as a journalist is a little like describing Dimjo as a Grandfatherly Statesman.

I do the same with baseball games when they start leftist propagandizing in the middle of the game.

...but you still watched the game.

“Why single her out?”

If it really wasn’t about ‘Journalistic Integrity”, maybe the publisher found her sleeping with his wife. Of German Shepard.

"Was that wrong?

Should I not have done that?

I tell ya I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon ...

You know cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell ya people do that all the time."

Miranda was assigned to cover “trending news nationwide” while at USA Today.

covering “news” already in print, just exactly how hard can that be?

Amazingly the players managed to avoid politics while they were pitching, hitting and fielding.

Don’t go Puritan on me.

You know what Puritan is, right?

That is the fear that someone, somewhere is enjoying themselves.

It is the conservative version of a Karen.
