New York Times Quotes FAKE Twitter Account

New York Times Journalist David Sanger appeared on CBS This Morning where he attempted to push another fake news story by quoting a fake Twitter account.

From NewsBusters:

In an article, the Times used a quote from “@GenMikeFlynn” asserting, “But if a scapegoat is what’s needed for this Administration to continue to take this great nation forward, I am proud to do my duty.”
