This liberal journalist made up stories about American vigilante groups patrolling the Mexican Border, Colin Kapernick, etc. out of thin air. Stories that affirmed the viewpoints of CNN and the MSM liberal media.
CNN so admired the stories that they honored him with their highest award. Who cares if they are true or not - they didn’t bother to check. What was important was the narrative that they told.
This is what Fake News really is. This is what the Left eats up every day as they accuse their political adversaries of being guilty of that which they themselves are.

A straight face
Always too easy to unearth the real facts.
What always surprises is his doubling down on the misguided posts when he defends them as if the rest of us are blind.
I rest my case.
I see nothing in the article that says that the 2014 story was fake.
I see nothing in the article that says that the 2014 story was anti-conservative, or anti-Trump.

How about vetting your sources information before your outrage posts - in this life time will it ever happen?
Maybe you should try the Lib media - it appears they get it right a good 90% of the time or better as opposed to your news sources who get it wrong 99% of the time.
Time for a change Baron

You really need to find better news sources -
===========================================================
A top European news magazine has fired one of its star journalists after discovering that he had fabricated facts and sources in more than a dozen articles over a seven-year period.
"Claas Relotius, a reporter and editor, falsified his articles on a grand scale and even invented characters, deceiving both readers and his colleagues," Germany's Der Spiegel said in an article published online Wednesday.
The startling revelation is a heavy blow to Der Spiegel, a 71-year-old publication that's renowned for its quality journalism and read by hundreds of thousands of people in print and by millions online.
"I'm so angry, horrified, shocked, stunned," the magazine's deputy foreign editor Mathieu von Rohr tweeted. "Claas Relotius faked, he cheated all of us."
After a colleague working with Relotius on a story in the United States flagged suspicions about his reporting, Der Spiegel says itcarried out an internal investigation. Relotius confessed last week that he invented entire passages for that article, and also falsified information in other stories, according to the magazine.
Relotius, who resigned Monday at the magazine's request, said he was sick and needed help, a Der Spiegel spokesman told CNN.
CNN hasn't been able to reach Relotius for comment.
His work had received awards from CNN, but a CNN spokesperson said, "Relotius was not associated with CNN, he never worked for the company and never had anything published on CNN platforms."
Relotius first joined Der Spiegel in 2011 as a freelancer, and was hired as an editor a year and half ago.
Der Spiegelsaid the 33-year-old admitted to partial fabrications in at least 14 of nearly 60 articles he wrote for its magazine and website. That included making up dialogue and quotes and creating composite characters. The magazine warned that the number could be higher, and that other news organizations could be affected.
Relotius has published stories in other leading German-language publications, including Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, the Financial Times Deutschland, Die Welt and Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, according to Der Spiegel.
He also penned a feature for Swiss magazine Reportagen, for which he received two CNN Journalist Awards in 2014, including Journalist of the Year. The CNN Journalist Awards were for German-language journalism and decided by an independent jury. The last awards were given in 2015.
A spokesman for CNN said Thursday that the 2014 awards jury held a meeting after Der Spiegel went public with its investigation, and voted unanimously to strip Relotius of both awards.
Forbes identified Relotius as a top reporter last year, including him on a "30 Under 30" list for European media.
Several major features Relotius wrote for Der Spiegel that were alsonominated for or won journalism awards are now under scrutiny, according to the magazine.
Among them, "The Last Witness," about an American who allegedly travels to an execution as a witness, "Lion Children," about two Iraqi children who have been kidnapped and reeducated by the Islamic State, and "Number 440," a feature about alleged prisoners at the US detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Investigation continues
Der Spiegel said it is still combing through the allegations against Relotius and will set up a commission made up of people from both inside and outside the company to investigate his work.
For now, Relotius' stories will be left unaltered online, but with a notification telling readers that his reporting is under suspicion of extensive forgery and manipulation.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung said Thursday that it was reviewing the stories by Relotius it had published. It said that no evidence of forgery had yet been found.
Der Spiegel is the latest prominent news organization to be rocked by revelations of a high-flying reporter falsifying information.
In 2003, The New York Times discovered that one of its rising stars, Jayson Blair, had invented parts of his stories and stolen material from other news outlets. The scandal resulted in the resignations of Blair and the newspaper's top two editors.
At The New Republic, Stephen Glass was considered a brilliant 25-year-old magazine writer, until he was unmasked as a serial fabricator and fired in 1998.
He worked for "Der Spiegel", not CNN. CNN awarded him "Journalist of the Year", (according to that article) in 2014. He wrote the "vigilante on the border" story in November 2018.
CNN does not have fake news in its DNA. That hit piece you cited needed to reach back at least two years to come of up with one or two examples of stories that had been corrected by CNN.

They honored his personal quality.
And besides, the article you posted said he was awarded for his work on Murderers as Carers.
Was that fake? I honestly do not know.

This was written by a resident of Fergus Falls MN, the town profiled by the Der Spiegel journalist, in an article that was meant to highlight dopey Trump supporters in small town America. Notable that the author is no fan of Trump. The fabrications of this journalist are pretty audacious.

...it's not Fox that is recurrently, persistently having this problem. It's the MSM. And yes, the socialist Euros are definitly part of the MSM as proven by who the companies like CNN choose to honor.

The immigration issue is a prime example. Instead of focusing on the breaking of our laws, some focus on the "cruelty" of enforcing them.
