Description | A local official in northern Illinois received criticism after using a government billboard to attack a newspaper as “fake news.”
Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner Andrew Gasser posted the message on the billboard on Friday, taking aim at local newspaper Northwest Herald, the newspaper itself reported.
“THE NORTHWORST HERALD IS FAKE NEWS,” the sign read, according to the report.
When a reporter from the newspaper asked Gasser why he used government property to criticize the free press, he reportedly responded with “because you’re fake news.” |
