Breitbart Site Duped by Fake Paul Krugman Bankruptcy Story - Truthdig


Breitbart Site Duped by Fake Paul Krugman Bankruptcy Story - Truthdig: "A Breitbart.com editor fell hook, line and sinker for a satirical story that claimed economist Paul Krugman had filed for personal bankruptcy after accumulating more than $7 million in debt. In a since-deleted March 11 post, editor at large Larry O’Connor ridiculed the Nobel Prize winner for handling his own finances so poorly, evidently unaware that the article had originated from the satire site The Daily Currant."
