New Republic Revives Stephen Glass Era with Baseless ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ Accusation Against Balaji Srinivasan

The New Republic, a leftist publication, was caught spreading false information about Balaji Srinivasan, a tech entrepreneur. The article implied that Srinivasan called for San Francisco to be ethnically cleansed, which was not true. After being exposed, the publication quietly edited the piece without issuing a retraction. Srinivasan’s actual statements were misrepresented to fit a false narrative. The author of the article has yet to delete his misleading tweets.
