As if shedding pages and sections, shrinking page size, and letting go of beloved staff wasn’t enough, now Iowa’s esteemed daily The Des Moines Register has resorted to inventing stories.

The Reggie isn’t new to nontroversies, either. Remember just last November when they “caught” Mari Culver smoking?
