From Kathleen: "It looks like USA today is so cheap that they rely increasingly on web partnerships and stringers rather than pay their own journalists salaries. This piece by Lina Khatib could easily be an outside piece of propaganda fed whole to USA Today. They certainly make it clear that they don't bother to fact-check the pieces from their "partner," Ozy.com:
"Ozy.comis a USA TODAY content partner providing general news, commentary and coverage from around the Web. Its content is produced independently of USA TODAY.""
