How not to journalism - deckeda - 04-28-2021
“Editor’s note: The original version of this article said migrant kids were getting Harris’ book in a welcome kit, but has been updated to note that only one known copy of the book was given to a child.”
Except, there's no proof even one child saw a copy, being donated as it was.
A New York Post story about Kamala Harris triggered conservative outrage. Almost all of it was wrong. Now the reporter has resigned.

Italiano originally reported on Friday that “unaccompanied migrant kids brought from the U.S.-Mexico border to a new shelter in Long Beach, Calif.,” would be given a copy of the book “in their welcome kits.” Her story attributed this claim to the Reuters photo, and the Post spun it into an all-caps pun for the front page of its print edition: “KAM ON IN.”

“The Kamala Harris story — an incorrect story I was ordered to write and which I failed to push back hard enough against — was my breaking point,” Laura Italiano tweeted Tuesday afternoon, several hours after her viral article about the books had been deleted from the Post’s website and replaced with corrected versions.
I spent all of about 10 seconds trying to understand this, which is (I think) an effort to tie Harris to advocating for migrant children to be kept in cages. A "welcome kit." Makes sense? Yeah.

The Daily Mirror, another Murdoch pub, actually started the story which was then picked by the Post which was then amplified by Fox News and other right wing political media.
They have their own built in echo chamber that can be and is

Slime of the day. Yesterday it was Biden was going to take away your hamburgers. Tomorrow there will be another made up slime. To the believers what they say is truth so why not lie to keep them in the fold.

Laura Italiano was credited with writing the story but on Tuesday she announced on Twitter that being told to write the “incorrect story” was her “breaking point” over working at the tabloid.
