Fake Yahoo News

“White Supremacist” Mike Cernovich and wife

Yahoo News posted their version of the firing of James Gunn: they attacked the people who broke the story by labeling them “white supremacist media“.

Marvel’s Infinity War is nothing compared to real-life culture wars. On Friday, Disney fired Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn after prominent members of the white supremacist media exposed several old, offensive tweets that the director had largely long-since deleted.

The article has been revised as shown below:

The shocking tweets, published between 2009 and 2012, and since deleted (albeit not permanently, as one can see below), were unearthed by conservative pundits Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich, and involve a series of NSFW homophobic, transphobic, and rape- and pedophilia-related jokes.

I notice that the article (at this time) has no update or retraction of their previous fake news. As for the firing of this director, the author is more concerned with deflection than culpability:

“The duo appeared to target Gunn for his outspoken and unrelenting criticism of President Donald Trump and his right-wing policies.“

Another example of Fake News (otherwise known as propaganda).
