Department store pulls ‘Fake News’ T-shirt after journalist complains on Twitter
A US department store says it will remove a “Fake News” T-shirt from sale after a reporter complained on Twitter that it “delegitimises” journalists.
New York-based reporter Allison Kaden from TV station PIX11 tweeted a photo of the offending T-shirt she spotted in a Bloomingdale’s on Sunday afternoon.
“Hey @Bloomingdales, this isn’t funny or fashionable,” she wrote. “It further delegitimizes hard working journalists who bring REAL news to their communities.”
A Pew Research poll in September 2018 found more than two-thirds of Americans believe the media are biased, with that figure rising to 86 per cent among Republicans.

They do not like the truth.
“It further delegitimizes hard working journalists who bring REAL news to their communities.”
Journalists? Where?
All I see are propagandists and no, it isn't just on the left. It's only primarily on the left.
So, if I'm a member of an aggrieved group, I can make a single complaint about something that 'offends' me and have it removed?
Who knew?
What "de-legitimizes" hard working journalists is the absolutely fanatical rush to be "first" on a story (several recent blunders come to mind) rather than "factual" on a story. The t-shirt just reflects the current response in the culture to people who are so worried about ratings and clicks that they forget to actually do research on a sound bite before they publish.
