Who knows what the full story is, but I doubt the reporter just made it up.

The term Fake News is awful because anyone who does a report and you don't like it or it holds someone accountable.

The full story has been acknowledged both in the article and the response.

This is the problem:

"Florida Atlantic University reported false numbers to the government, exaggerating how many women played for its sports teams, just a year after it ranked among the worst in the country for female representation in sports…"

The PBP article implies they knew about it, and in premeditated fashion, did it on purpose. However, the reporting error itself is so egregious, any audit would have shown the figures presented as preposterous.

We all know that the reason the article was written was to offer a "gotcha moment" and drive traffic - which it did.

Based upon that it is FAKE NEWS.

As a society we always want to cast blame and rub people into the dirt.

It's sad.

Ok, he implied that and that just comes down to he said she said.
One thing I have learn about fake news is the person screaming it is ussually on the wrong side..

Argue what you want, but I feel this is more than clerical error on FAU’s part.

It was with an old regime, I hope it gets fixed.

Whatever dude…

I am on the side of truth.

The reporter made a targeted and invalid assertion it was premeditated, then exhibited blatant disregard towards the response issued to them before they published the article.

Call it what you want…but to me leaving out the complete story is FAKE NEWS.
