Right-Wing Media Resurrect False Claim That Administration Ignored Major General's Funeral
http://mediamatters.org/research/2014/08/25/right-wing-media-resurrect-false-claim-that-adm/200538Basically, right wing media like Fox and Townhall accused Obama administration of ignoring Gen. Harold Greene's funeral while sending representatives to Michael Brown's funeral. In fact, these claims are based on unfounded claims flying around social media. That's right wing "journalism" right there. I'm sure you've seen poutrage from your right wing uncle on Facebook or Twitter. But give credit to Byron York of the Washington Examiner for admitting he got this story wrong.
