Topic: Accuracy in Media
Add Accuracy in Media to the list of ConWeb outlets making false claims about a USA Today op-ed by Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer.
In an Aug. 10 blog post, Don Irvine claimed that "concerned citizens are being called 'un-American' by the Speaker of the House and the Majority Whip" -- even though he excerpted a report clearly stating that Pelosi and Hoyer wrote that "Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American."
Irvine repeated the lie on Aug. 11, claiming that Pelosi and Hoyer "referred to Town hall protestors as 'un-American'" -- again, even though he excerpted the correct quote.
