Rothman: HuffPost’s Gut-Wrenching Poverty Editorial That Went Viral a Hoax | Mediaite

Rothman: HuffPost’s Gut-Wrenching Poverty Editorial That Went Viral a Hoax | Mediaite: "Tirado’s tale of deprivation is far sexier than the truth and the myth of her trials will likely persist for far longer than the reality of her comfortable middle class existence. One wonders if commentators like Touré will correct the record after having promoted Tirado’s story or if he will simply let the lie stand and suggest that her account may not be literally true but he is certain that such a story is true for someone.

The latter is far more likely."
