3/ Our reporters will dig into who’s bankrolling the political ad, look at the cost, and decode whether it contains false or misleading information about the election.

We’ll then add it to our searchable database, so others who see a similar ad can easily confirm its accuracy.

After ending our relationship with LIBRE — an insert distributed each Friday by @elnuevoherald that ran racist and anti-Semitic writing — newsroom leaders promised an investigation into how the organization overlooked it.

Here is what we know. (THREAD)
miamiherald.com/news/local/com…

miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
@elnuevoherald @mcclatchy The staffer brought it to their editor’s attention.

In the LIBRE opinion column, Luque Escalona castigated American Jews as “cowards” after U.S. Jewish organizations issued a letter of support for Black Lives Matter and the protests over Floyd’s death. miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
