When a Washington Post columnist fell for a fake news story on the "satire" site Daily Currant a few weeks ago, Breitbart.com's John Nolte suggested the paper was without "a shred of self-awareness, integrity, and dignity" and wrote that it "never... let facts get in the way of a good Narrative."Of course, that was before his own outlet got fooled by the exact same "satire" site. Over the weekend, Breitbart.com's Larry O'Connor published a post based on a Daily Currant item with the title "Paul Krugman Declares Personal Bankruptcy." The Daily Currant had its piece picked up by an Austrian magazine, and in turn by a blog called The Prudent Investor, which is republished on Boston.com (a property owned by Krugman's employers at The New York Times).
Krugman admitted that he'd seen the false reports but kept quiet because he "wanted to wait and see which right-wing media outlets would fall for the hoax."
Double check your sources, kids!
More proof that Breitbart.com is a joke.
