23. Raw Story doing it's usual rip off of someone else's reporting

Jul 2018

Here's the actual story from the actual people who actually reported it:

https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/fort-lauderdale-wells-fargo-refused-to-cash-black-womans-check-called-cops-lawsuit-says-10559428

The actual reporter is Brittany Shammas (not Noor Al-Sabai, who basically plagiarized the entire thing to get Raw Story clicks).
