Right Wing Media Fall for ‘Paul Krugman’ Impersonator
Practically the entire right wing blogosphere was taken in by a hoax this morning, as a right wing foe of NY Times economist Paul Krugman created a Google+ account with Krugman’s name and proceeded to post outrageous comments: The Krugman Google Saga: Or, Why Fact-Checking is Important.
National Review, American Thinker, Pajamas Media, Newsbusters, Big Government — all of them fell for it.
