If you think fake news is out of hand, Teen Vogue writer suggests you check out the Bible

It’s clear by now that CNN’s Jim Acosta is leading the charge against accusations that his network deals in fake news; his pinned tweet reads simply, “We are real news Mr. President,” and he sends it around every now and then as a reminder.

Here’s a defense of fake news we didn’t see coming, though: Lauren Duca, a freelancer who has written for Teen Vogue, admitted that yes, journalists make mistakes, but hey, have you checked out a book called — wait for it — “the Bible?”

Folks, if you think there are too many mistakes in modern journalism, let me tell you about inaccuracies in this one book called "The Bible"

It’s a mystery, just like how all the liberal celebrities announced they were moving to Canada and not Mexico were Trump to win.
