Watching libs finally turn against the New York Crimes like

They published a fake news story about Palestinians committing mass rape and had awful reporting on trans issues that was literally cited in transphobic laws, and they responded to criticism of that by publishing an op-ed titled "In Defense of JK Rowling."

They have a long history of shit like that, lying and endangering vulnerable people in the process, but the trouble is, so do a lot of news outlets. It's why it's so important to investigate claims, trace sources, and think critically about information even when it's coming from a seemingly trustworthy source.
