Talia Lavin, the disgraced former fact checker for the New Yorker who doxed an ICE agent falsely for being a Nazi, has had her career rehabilitated by the fake news industry. The Washington Post scooped her up despite (or maybe due to) being a known liar to malign conservatives for Jeff Bezos’ lobbying rag.

Lavin was hard at work following the burning of the Notre Dame Cathedral, deriding any chatter of what caused the Paris blaze as far-right conspiracy theories. She singled out ‘Never Trumper‘ Ben Shapiro with a diatribe of nonsensical gibberish.

“Ben Shapiro called Notre Dame a ‘monument to Western civilization’ and ‘Judeo-Christian heritage.’ Given the already-raging rumors about potential Muslim involvement, these tweets evoked the specter of a war between Islam and the West that is already part of numerous far-right narratives; it was also a central thread in the manifesto of Brenton Tarrant, the alleged Christchurch, New Zealand, shooter,” Lavin wrote.

Shapiro, who always goes out of his way to sanitize his commentary for mainstream media consumption, felt that this attack was out-of-bounds and took to his Twitter account to whip up some outrage over his hurt feelings:

This, from @chick_in_kiev, in The Washington Post, is the sheerest form of disgusting bulls***. I blamed no one for the Notre Dame fire, since it was an accident by all available evidence, and imputing malicious intent to me is simply gross. https://t.co/e5gvQqQc2G pic.twitter.com/T98E2JWJXe

Shapiro then politely lobbied his fake news partners to change the story on his behalf:

Hey, @washingtonpost, any interest in fixing this nonsense? I noted that Notre Dame is a monument to Western civilization because it is. That has nothing to do with blaming Muslims, and to suggest it does is simply a lie.

The ensuing fallout sparked a surreal exchange between Shapiro and the Soros-funded targeted harassment agency Media Matters where the leftist propaganda entity did their credibility no favors.

Ben knew exactly what he was doing trying to (wrongly and misleadingly) rile up people against @chick_in_kiev. https://t.co/tF8Hlyl8nl https://t.co/4jwcUnLrU5

Liberals have certainly seen better days when they are getting schooled by little Ben Shapiro. Relying on proven hacks like Lavin to write the fake news only exposes their illicit agenda further.

Making matters even worse, Far Left Watch exposed that Lavin is not just on the WaPo payroll, but she is also receiving a taxpayer-funded salary at New York University to mold young minds as well:

So the far-left activist who had to resign from the New Yorker for falsely accusing an ICE agent of being a Nazi was rewarded with:

a.) A teaching role at NYU journalism school
b.) A contributor role at WaPo
c.) Both pic.twitter.com/8FAT4XlrOc

“It is past time that those who stoke inflammatory rhetoric, knowing its potential to catalyze racist violence, were made to stop playing with fire — before it’s too late to control the inferno,” Lavin wrote in the final line of her article.

Lavin would be wise to take her own advice, although she would probably not receive as much employment in her industry if she were scrupulous. The fake news appears to hire disreputable vermin exclusively to wage war against basic American values.
