Despite Business Insider admitting its original claim was contrary to the actual numbers, Rubin published the debunked fact in her piece three days later.
On Saturday afternoon, the Post offered a correction to Rubin’s column, admitting to “mischaracterizing” the numbers: “A previous version of this article mischaracterized Floridians’ state-to-state migration in 2021. According to the Census Bureau, more people moved into Florida than any other state that year. This version has been corrected.”
—Fox News, yesterday.
Much of what Rubin writes these days is unintentionally satiric, but to be honest, I trust the reporting at America’s Newspaper of Record much more than the vast majority of the WaPo’s output. - Ed Driscoll
