Michelle Malkin’s purpose is to expose the so-called “lazy advocates and ignorant journalists” who are not fact checking their news, and causing a skewed version of what’s the truth. Malkin uses a social media “meme of the moment” to drive home her point of what journalists and news reporters are doing incorrectly.
