Tracking Misinformation: False Claims About Arrests

A website recognized for running fake, viral stories published a post alleging two reporters from The New York Times were arrested in connection with recent reporting. This is a completely fabricated claim and an irresponsible provocation during a time when journalists working in the U.S. are facing extraordinary and intensifying pressures.
