Why point this out? Because if journalists don't want to be accused of peddling "fake news" they shouldn't credulously spread fake images.

I love when people equate "picking a battle" with sending one tweet. Journalists complain about "fake news" accusations, then spread fakery.

It's photoshopped. It's been shown to be such. He has not removed the tweet. In fact he has retweeted it.

Even if this photoshopped pic was real, do you share the politics of everyone you've been photographed with?

It took me 14 seconds to find the real photo lol. You'd think a journo could do it in 2 to confirm.
