Reply to comment by BasedTunechi in Rep.-elect George Santos lied about attending prestigious NYC prep school Horace Mann: report by PichuLovy

No one checked, I guess that's why. B4 the election. Lazy work by the democrats.

That's not correct and people should stop repeating this falsehood. Opposition research uncovered a lot of the lies and the Democratic candidate was yelling about them repeatedly. Nobody was paying attention. People love to blame politicians and the media while simultaneously letting themselves off the hook.

The narrative of the Dems being weak is more important than the truth apparently.

Yeah, everybody likes to consider themselves as independent thinkers, but when something goes wrong, its everybody else's fault.

Stop watching right-wing news channels, ignore the NY Post, support responsible media and don't vote for conservatives. There's no guarantee there'll never be another George Santos, but it makes it way less likely.

Lmao the oppo research people sent their findings to the media and they couldn’t be bothered to report it. Some asshole form the NYT even had the gall to tweet that he was sent the lede but didn’t even read it because the report was a couple of pages and that someone should have just distilled it down to a tweet for him.
