How fake news spreads so quickly ⬇️

You’d never know that the very article they tweeted directly refutes what they’re tweeting.

12 paragraphs in: “Economic Impact Payment checks are scheduled to go out on time and exactly as planned—there is absolutely no delay whatsoever”
Now you have US Senators promoting a story based on the original fake news pushed by Washington Post reporters.

It’s like an outrageous game of gaslighting telephone. And of course @SenGaryPeters didn’t read her article.
To be clear — the fake news isn’t the story from @Reinlwapo and @ericawerner — its the tweets. The story has appropriate caveats, includes quote from Treasury, and is well-reported.

But tweets taking “could delay” to “absolutely will delay” as a done deal are mischaracterizing
