Poynter forced to scrap 'unreliable news' list targeting conservative outlets

A journalism watchdog has been forced to scrap a list of “unreliable” news sources because, as it turns out, the list wasn’t reliable.

The Poynter Institute, a journalism nonprofit organization, initially released a list of more than 500 “unreliable” news outlets purportedly “built from pre-existing databases compiled by journalists, fact-checkers and researchers around the country.”

But a number of prominent conservative-leaning outlets were included in the “unreliable” category, including The Washington Examiner, Washington Free Beacon, Daily Caller and other publications that employ scores of journalists covering Congress, elections, the White House and more. The index was created with the help of an employee for the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., doubled down on his call for Attorney General William Barr's resignation in an op-ed published in USA Today on Friday morning.

In the lengthy piece, Schiff argued Barr helped President Trump mislead the country, undermined the public's confidence in the Department of Justice, and set a precedent for the president to end the 15 investigations into his behavior.

"The attorney general of the United States misled the country about an investigation implicating the president. Then he lied to Congress," Schiff wrote in the piece. "Then he did something worse: He effectively said that the president of the United States is above the law.
