This kind of mistake (not limited to conservatives) is not the result of bad research, but of no research. Stumbling on to a fake news site and mistaking it for news is not research. Stumbling on to such a site, reading a somewhat surprising piece, and then looking for some reliable and authoritative confirmation, is research. Someone who is trying to do research for a news organization might even consider contacting the subject of the piece directly (in this case the White House - their phone number does not require too much "research" to find) and at least ask for a comment. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
