Matt Taibbi, "Cleveland Unicorns" Sports Prank
During a podcast segment, Matt Taibbi pranked his co-host Katie Halper by inventing a fictional NFL team called the "Cleveland Unicorns." Halper, who admitted to knowing nothing about sports, proceeded to speculate on the team's "aggressive" logo and "ground assault" strategy. The exchange was criticized as mean-spirited, as Taibbi allowed the misinformation to continue without correcting his colleague.
