Liberty Counsel Rebuts Fake News About Paycheck Protection Program
ORLANDO, FL -- Online news sources and blogs are republishing unsourced and fabricated fake news regarding Liberty Counsel in an article about nonprofit organizations receiving loans in the Paycheck Protection Program. Some of the false information appears to have originated in a July 8 article written for Creative Loafing at cltampa.com, by its digital editor Colin Wolf, who wrote that Liberty Counsel had received PPP funds but “reportedly retained no jobs.”
Instead of verifying the information in Creative Loafing, Roger Sollengerger, staff writer for Salon.com, published an article on July 10 claiming that Liberty Counsel received “between $350,000 and $1 million, reportedly retaining no jobs.” When in fact, Liberty Counsel has numerous employees in three offices and retained 100 percent of its staff members.
