BREAKING: Speaker Ryan Says Trump Will NOT Sign The Existing Spending Bill
December 20, 2018The most hilarious part of this story? CNN gave this twerp its “Journalist of the Year” award in 2014.
A top European news magazine has fired one of its star journalists after discovering that he had fabricated facts and sources in more than a dozen articles over a seven-year period.
“Claas Relotius, a reporter and editor, falsified his articles on a grand scale and even invented characters, deceiving both readers and his colleagues,” Germany’s Der Spiegel said in an article published online Wednesday.
Suspicion arose after a colleague worked on a story with him. The colleague was concerned by Relotius’ “reporting” (I use the term loosely). He eventually admitted to making up sources and quotes.

Relotius confessed last week that he invented entire passages for that article, and also falsified information in other stories, according to the magazine.
Relotius, who resigned Monday at the magazine’s request, said he was sick and needed help, a Der Spiegel spokesman told CNN.
Nah. He’s just a “journalist” who was caught.
Like I said in the very beginning, CNN showered this guy with awards. But listen– CNN wants you to know that he never worked for them, so there!
His work had received awards from CNN, but a CNN spokesperson said, “Relotius was not associated with CNN, he never worked for the company and never had anything published on CNN platforms.”

That Der Spiegel journo (also CNN journalist of the year) caught faking news smeared an entire rural town to push the narrative that Trump supporters were backward and racist.
How many other times has this happened that we never found out about?https://t.co/LpQPY1wTqN

Probably a gazillion. At least.
That’s a qualification to get hired by the New York Times
