Conservatives have long complained that the mainstream media will attack anything related to President Donald Trump without bothering to fact check.
Don’t believe it? There’s proof — and it’s on Twitter.
“Many mainstream news outlets, well known journalists, and a number of Democrats have fallen for a parody twitter account,” The Daily Caller reported Monday. “The account is supposed to mimic White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, but many think the tweets are real.”
The account, @sean_spicier (As in, more spicy than Spicer) is making waves for weeks, and it has been leaving journalists and liberal commenters steaming mad.
It goes to show just how thoroughly the mainstream media checks their sources — they can’t bother to look for Sean Spicer’s real account before getting nasty.
The fake account is having fun with it, replying to a boxing journalist —

He’s hit other liberal journalists as well —

The account has also taken Democrats and angry liberals to town, pulling out the most angry responses and sharing them.
