she liked the real guy's quote so much she recycled the exact language for the guy she made up for her kicker https://nypost.com/2018/06/16/these-harvard-kids-got-the-lesson-of-their-life-in-the-heartland/ …pic.twitter.com/JOic8yHfgh
what a coincidence that the French kid on a tour of Gettysburg uses Zito's same archaic phrasing https://nypost.com/2017/12/23/this-town-celebrates-christmas-with-an-italian-american-feast/ … https://nypost.com/2018/04/07/history-proves-that-americans-can-unite-even-when-torn-in-two/ …pic.twitter.com/8jcMGMxpWv
Meet Greg, a small businessman described in suspiciously extensive detail. Greg would rather not give his last name. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2016/09/04/how_republicans_can_save_republicanism_131702.html …pic.twitter.com/VAFOMksjYL
Greg's views on the state of the Republican party are virtually identical to those of strategist Brad Todd, who just so happens to be Zito's co-author.pic.twitter.com/qwW2tc9RpN
Here’s another question @SalenaZito should answer.https://twitter.com/urbanachievr/status/924817708579016704?s=21 …
The most serious charges of fabulism are unrelated to her book. Pure deflection.pic.twitter.com/QN2zy6pntk
#TBT to when Salena Zito claimed to have interviewed paid protesters IRL because she was fooled by a fake website https://twitter.com/urbanachievr/status/830828615491342338?s=21 …pic.twitter.com/N4Rea72pxk
Meet Mark, rendered here in florid detail. Alas, the one detail that matters to those attempting to replicate Zito's journalism - a last name - remains elusive. https://triblive.com/opinion/salena/6615371-74/democrats-party-vote …pic.twitter.com/RK8StVHMJS
Mark is, naturally, an articulate and astute ex-Democrat who speaks in carefully "crafted" sentences. Mark also uses an unusual phrase: "divisional politics."pic.twitter.com/GfhWOy7S0N
Coincidentally, "divisional politics" happens to be another of Zito's favorite terms.pic.twitter.com/6AmAkIF8Vv
It's also fairly unique. If you google the phrase, two Salena Zito articles appear on the first page of results (neither of which is the article about "Mark").pic.twitter.com/BfRbKRbaO3
Does this establish that "Mark" is a fictional character? No it doesn't. But it strongly suggests that the words attributed to him were not his. And once we draw that conclusion, the burden of proof must shift to @SalenaZito and her editors.
h/t to @cnn94cnn for introducing us to "Derek" who, if real, is a living embodiment of the <hashtag>Walk Away</hashtag> campaign. What a shame he's too frightened to give his full name.https://twitter.com/cnn94cnn/status/960966679026159617 …
Derek is useful in a number of ways. He gives terrific quotes that bolster Zito's thesis about Trump's policies delivering tangible benefits to the black community.pic.twitter.com/YGPO9ZQa0k
Derek is also doing his part to reintroduce the word "conniption" into the vernacular. It's one of Salena's favorites, and she hopes more people will start using it.pic.twitter.com/PKeE777ZSI

striking to read these gas station vignettes side-by-side beat for beat, it's the same story: working class Americans listen to the news, refute the liberal party line in a loud, folksy way, then drive off with bumper sticker proof of their former party allegiancepic.twitter.com/Ymk6XJ6dTT
randomly seeing people removing their Obama-Biden bumper stickers is a normal thing in Real Americapic.twitter.com/jUX3mwwyQe

"overheard" is another great Zito genre
