910: Coin of the Realm
Laura Hunter, Identity Theft and Fake Bloggers
CBS News reported on Laura Hunter, a Seattle photographer who claimed her identity was hijacked by a pro-Trump blogger in Tennessee. The report conflated identity theft with the common online practice of using stock or found photos for avatars. The hosts criticize CBS for framing a non-story about two women with the same name as a "fake news" crisis and an argument against online anonymity.
