that is real bad
probably not the writers fault, editors usually pick headlines.
There should seriously be repercussions for "journalists" who do this crap... They should be fired, fined and/or jailed..
The media use to be an institution that was about "integrity" and reporting facts so that the public would be informed. Now, they seem to hire any idiot with a keyboard so long as they're willing to be controversial, push the envelope and flat out LIE to generate clicks
Its truly disgusting.. I don't know how these people live with themselves, its truly disgraceful and shows that they completely lack any sense of honor, integrity or dignity.
and Main Stream Media wonders why the public has lost all confidence in them!
I'd expect better from USA Today. That is sad.

USA Today has never tried to be a reputable organization from a journalism stand point, and I've never expected anything from them other than headlines that get the attention of business people who glance down at the paper in front of their hotel room door in the morning.
There truly is a difference between headline grabbing and investigative journalism. I was fortunate enough to sit in on an Editorial staff meeting at the Chicago Tribune in the 90's, where they wrestled as a group about which articles should be placed where in the paper. There were about a dozen people in the room, and more Pulitzers than that represented. That conversation was one of the most authentic, passionate debates I've seen in a workplace, with a ton of integrity. They challenged each others' biases, assumptions, and logic, and walked out of the room with a set of decisions no one was completely happy with but everyone respected. And had stronger relationships as a result.
Pretty sure that doesn't happen at USA Today.
Actually the media was always leftist, it is just now with the internet and all the other independent media that their complete leftist bents have been exposed.
He's in WEEI right now.
AJ Perez (writer) is saying he screwed up and misread the transcript. At least he owned up to it, although we still know it was intentional.

The real question is the frequency and extent of the falsehoods. The false equivalency trap leads one to think that the little white lie is the same as the pants on fire variety. What is needed is a reliable source for people to determine where the truth lies, but we do have one side trying to undermine those institutions as "dishonest... biased" etc.Left or right, they're all liars... this idea that only one side of the political spectrum lies in the news is pretty silly and I don't think anyone can seriously believe that

While the Globe, the New York Times, and NPR are definitely leftist, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the New Hampshire Union Leader are on the right. Historically, the William Randolph Hearst publishing empire, while initially progressive in its editorial stance (though promoting sensational news) turned to the right in the 1930s and opposed FDR and the New Deal.Actually the media was always leftist, it is just now with the internet and all the other independent media that their complete leftist bents have been exposed.
