Wow! Does Jake Tapper still have a job? Courageous of him publicly to make such a truthful comment!

Maybe you heard yesterday about the Jewish family who had been forced to flee Lancaster County after Fox News and Breitbart reported that they had complained about a school production of “A Christmas Carol.” Lefty outlets like Slate couldn’t get enough of the story.

Just one teensy problem: The family didn’t “flee” at all. They went on vacation.

But, just as has been the case with countless examples of “fake news,” the damage had already been done. And CNN’s Jake Tapper, for one, has had more than enough of this garbage:
More misleading click bait. STOP. This is not what happened. https://t.co/skXp4EvUJn

once your updated reporting blows up your initial story, take it down and apologize

Tapper’s got a message for all the lefty “news” outlets out there falling all over themselves to push unsubstantiated crap:
It baffles me how anyone on the left combatting "fake news" can turn a blind eye to the click baiting within its own ranks. HEAL THYSELF

Tapper’s a rare breed these days: A journalist with integrity. A journalist who’s capable of introspection.
Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for most of the rest of the MSM (including some of Tapper’s CNN colleagues). So Tapper’s advice may very well fall on deaf ears.

I don't see anyone on the left "combatting" fake news. I see them producing it and using the term to slander conservatives. @jaketapper
