WPRI’s been particularly notable in carrying the Democrats’ anti-Trump water recently.

The fabricated nature of this tweet’s content is just one example:

wpri12: It’s been less than a week since President Donald Trump promised to implement additional tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, but the added taxes are already impacting local business owners.

To be sure, that isn’t the most egregious example I’ve come across, but I particularly wanted to capture a statement relegated to the very end of the article, coming from one of only two local sources cited for the article, William Worthy, of Big Bear Hunting & Fishing in Glocester:

“Maybe [Trump’s tariff policy] opens the door for some local people to have local-made bait instead of bait coming from other countries,” Worthy told 12 News. “I’d rather push the locally made stuff if I can’t buy the stuff from China anymore. I think it will create other opportunities.”
