The Daily in the Daily Caller
Weekly-- with truth-- would be better

Evidence indicates that an article in the Daily Caller falsely stated, "However, Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell told reporters Tuesday, referencing Minority Leader Harry Reid’s changing of the filibuster rules to benefit the majority for non-judicial appointments, that Republicans will use every advantage they now have."
Senator McConnell is, actually, the majority leader.
@creditscoring prove it.

Now, the article reads, "However, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell told reporters Tuesday, referencing Minority Leader Harry Reid’s changing of the filibuster rules to benefit the majority for non-judicial appointments, that Republicans will use every advantage they now have."
The error simply disappeared. #justdisappeared
Veracity check of the Daily Caller
In 2011, David B. Cohen wrote, "Republicans noted that American Samoa’s largest employer was a tuna cannery owned by a subsidiary of Del Monte, which just so happened to be based in House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s district."
Nancy Pelosi has never been Majority Leader. She was the speaker of the House, and therefore in the line of presidential succession after the vice president.
According to the official history of the United States of America, Steny Hoyer was Majority Leader.
@creditscoring @KerryPicket Del Monte was based in SF since its founding in 1886. https://t.co/MmddHM9M4Z

@creditscoring She was Speaker, which is more powerful than Majority Leader.

@creditscoring LOL. My article is "false" b/c I refer to Speaker Pelosi, leader of the House majority, as "Majority Leader"?

@creditscoring OK, you're clearly punking me (if you're not just clueless). This is boring now, so...Block.

The 2011 Daily Caller article identifies its author as "David Cohen" "Former Deputy Assistant Sec. of the Interior."
