I suppose this thread is assuming that the Post is widely considered a credible and compelling media outlet...

About as credible as CNN, MSNBC or the NY Times.

LOL

Surely you jest...are we supposed to take that seriously? 

Go ahead, compare the Post favorably to the NYT, it calls your critical thinking and logic into question for suggesting it.

Do I need to list all of the fabricated stories produced by the NY times?  Unfortunately I'm not free for the next month.

Do a little research.  I'm sure you learned how to do at least a little of that during your nursing training.  The NY Times is a liberal rag full of misinformation and lies.

Hahaha

Imagine someone who creates threads based in partisan propaganda and misinformation, links to crap media sources, and references right wing propaganda in their comments thinking that they should lecture sometime else on vetting media sources. Credibility is important.  Trump has none.

Thanks to this thread I now know how the NYT helped Trump lie! I now believe Russians have been illegally interfering on OUR elections, and continue to do so.

The New York Times helped Trump spread misinformation about the Russia probe

On March 24, 2019 the Times posted a tweet repeating Trump’s lies verbatim that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election “was an illegal takedown that failed” and Mueller’s report was “a complete and total exoneration.” A Times article headline from the same day also misleadingly claimed that Mueller’s investigation found no Trump-Russia conspiracy. 

In April 2019, the Times helped spread right-wing falsehoods by credulously repeating a claim by Attorney General Bill Barr during a congressional hearing, which he later walked back, that “spying did occur” on the Trump campaign. On July 25, the Times published a piece on the special counsel’s congressional testimony titled “Lack of Electricity in Mueller Testimony Short-Circuits Impeachment.” The headline was criticized by The American Independent’s Oliver Willis for treating the hearing like it was entertainment....

The NYT got sucked into Trump's con years ago and published a good bit of propaganda for him. They correct their errors when they are realized.

I didn't know that. You are probably right.

Fox pushing NY Post story alleging widespread mail-in ballot fraud by anonymous Democratic operative

Fox News personalities and right-wing conservatives are pushing a New York Post story published over the weekend alleging widespread mail-in ballot fraud by an anonymous whistleblower and “top Democractic operative.” The Post claims the whistleblower “says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth. And he knows this because he’s been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.”...

...    Among the accusations are:

  • New Jersey mail-in ballots have no security features such as a stamp or watermark, allowing operatives to convince voters to let them mail completed ballots on their behalf and then steam open envelopes to replace with counterfeit ballots before mailing.
  • Postal Service employees commit election fraud by throwing out mail-in ballots from Republican areas or sifting through ballots and handing them to Democractic operatives. The article links to an unrelated story on New York City election ballots to support this claim.
  • Nursing home employees are paid political operatives who fraudulently fill out residents’ ballots for them.
  • Operatives impersonate voters in states with no voter ID laws, such as New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
  • Operatives bribe homeless voters to vote during elections in New Jersey in a scheme that “resembled Mafia organizations” and left the actual candidate in the dark to maintain “plausible deniability.”
  • Democratic election board members took part in fraud by checking ballots to see if they have bent corners — bent by operatives engaged in fraud — to see if they should keep them or throw them out for irregularities. The insider claims bent ballots go unchallenged by Democratic Board of Election counters.

All of these schemes require a large network of operatives to pull them off, however, the story cites no other source for confirmation, even though the main principle of investigative journalism is to never rely on a single source of information. Without secondary confirmation, the accusations are dubious at best. And the New York Post, a daily tabloid, does not have a sterling reputation for accuracy. For instance, in 2013, the paper erroneously reported that 12 people had died in the Boston Marathon bombing and wrongly identified two suspects in published photographs, leading to a libel lawsuit that was settled in 2014.

Trump supporters, as we see in these threads, are eager to believe and share all manner of incredible and fabricated nonsense that negatively depicts those who oppose Trump while steadfastly denying credible reporting which is critical of Trump. It's alarming that so many self described nursing professionals are so susceptible to nonsense.
