USA Today removes 23 articles after reporter Gabriela Miranda fabricated sources

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

I could only find two of the articles that were deleted.

One was about lamenting about dancing bans at weddings during COVID, and the other was about TikTok removing posts about the Gallon Challenge milk drinking challenge because it's dangerous.

At least in those two, it's not like she was creating a story where there wasn't one, or posting partisan stuff. Just too damn lazy to get on the phone with sources and get a quote.

Lets see a list of the stories, bet they are all slanted to make the left look good or at least to make the right look bad.

But she only did what many other leftist media did for the last few years, most of whom never apologized.

Scroll down for the list of the headlines. Almost all soft stuff, fluff, and I couldn't find anything that looks partisan.

So, no.

Of course, at least one of these deleted articles premise made it into a thread here.

It's good in the sense that they are cleaning house over this. They could have just buried it.

Are we reading the same list?


You didn't find anything partisan..Well here are some of the "non-partisan" articles..

Texas abortion ban could lead to stockpiling contraceptives and pregnancy tests

Anti-vaxxer pushes urine therapy as 'COVID antidote' without scientific evidence

Campus ministry at Virginia Tech had its Pride flag stolen, replaced with Confederate flag

The problem is that they may have removed these articles, but how many of these articles have been reposted on other sites? How many of those sites will scrub the articles?
