Florida media malpractice, example #27648: @pbpost
journalist asserts that Gov. DeSantis somehow spent $577 MILLION to create an "anti-immigrant" (?) online dashboard to measure the burden that illegal immigration imposes on taxpaying citizens. In reality, the dashboard cost only $5,000 to create.
Apparently the same journalists who wildly exaggerated COVID risks have not learned from their mistakes and remain proudly ignorant of data & statistics.

@pbpost Here is the response from @AHCA_FL correcting this error. Let's see if @pbpost retracts their falsehoods! #Misinformation
Note that @pbpost published an incendiary, false headline about @AHCA_FL without reaching out to the agency for comment or fact-checking. This behavior violates basic principles of journalism.
Journalists like this make a mockery of their own profession, then they lament that WE are responsible for destroying their industry's reputation just because we NOTICED their malpractice.
