'News' check: Link on Fox News homepage to 'article' called: "D.C. Airbnb hosts pull listings to avoid renting to Trump supporters"
Link goes to an outside 'article' on HeatStreet, a slightly questionable looking 'news' site that offers the perspective that lousy liberals in DC don't want to rent spaces to Trump supports - does mention and pull a short mis-contextualized quote from a Huff Post article, but offers no links to this or other sourcing.
(I hate to give them clicks for revenue, but here it is if you want to check:

After a very brief internet search, there is indeed a Huff Post article - about how a lot of out-of-town Clinton supporters are cancelling their AirBnB's because Clinton didn't win. However, contrary to HeatStreet's account, most renters are still keeping their rentals open because capitalism and making money. "The management firms HuffPost spoke to indicated that most of their property owners don’t seem to be letting politics get in the way of business." (

Apparently even FN needs to learn not to link to random 'articles' that you just like the sound of. Check the underlying veracity of a report, and maybe we can start to try and not reciprocally generalize and denigrate each other.
