On Tuesday, July 27, HMG-CN exclusively reported that Basilico’s owner Tony Roman took a PPP loan while bashing the US government during the pandemic.
The data came from the SBA website.
Yesterday the Long Beach Press-Telegram and the OC Register lifted the story and claimed it their own, with Director of Online Stories,Vanessa Franko, [email protected] saying “we got the data from Pro Publica.” No attribution.
Minutes later, HMG-CN confirmed that Pro Publica got their data from the SBA.
What happened to journalistic integrity?

Now listen to the interview where Cuomo called Roman an idiot, true.
