Trump Serves Customers at a McDonald’s Drive-Thru in Philadelphia

Why Troubling News:

This article is misinformation by omission, as it ends up portraying Trump working at McDonalds as more organic than it actually is. In reality, this was a staged campaign event, with the store closed to the public and where everyone who was involved (including the people who acted as customers) was there as a part of the Trump campaign. The article also fails to mention any opposing perspectives, and only includes tweets from other right-wing accounts. There's a very clear right-wing bias in this article's exclusion of important information, and the sourcing of the article, which fails to provide a balanced, accurate view of the event in question.
