QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory group that was able to dupe a number of local stations into covering one of their events.

Many local TV stations ended up covering a QAnon event and NYU Journalism Professor Jay Rosen pointed this out on his social media.

It is more proof that local stations need experienced Journalists on staff that are able to see through stuff like this and put the story in the proper context.

If the story is covered at all.

NBC News did shine a light on what was happening, but it appears that local station just went along with it.
