All in the day of a journalist trying to correct online misinformation. Sometimes it’s so prevalent I could spend an entire day trying to rectify mistakes and not get anything else done. CONTACT USCNN explained what really happened: Congress appropriated $650 million in the 2024 fiscal year to fund a program that helps state and local governments house migrants — and instructed US Customs and Border Protection to transfer that $650 million to FEMA to administer the program. But this $650 million pot is entirely distinct from FEMA’s disaster relief funds. So, as these final weeks unfold in the new world of fake photos and misinformation, please read stories from all sides of an issue before coming to an opinion.
