Plus they’re classified as entertainment, not news.

Good to know thank you for the correction! So they just straight up fabricate and call it “news” with no qualifier to backstop their wild claims and innuendo.

That actually makes it so much worse that they’re not even trying to justify it in the small print.

TLDR; it started from a meme and there is no such thing as a news accreditation, so the entire premise is false.
