Lee Fang, a blogger with Think Progress, lied to event organizers about his residency and status in an attempt to gain media access to the Defending the American Dream Summit, held this past weekend at the Washington Convention Center. Fang told Americans for Prosperity Foundation that he is a student visiting from California, who had to fly home tomorrow and had really hoped to cover the event.
However, Fang is listed as a resident of Prince Georges County, Maryland on his ThinkProgress author page. His wikipedia page says that he attended college at the University of Maryland, College Park. Another blogger from ThinkProgress who requested credentials and was honest about his background was given a media pass.
Fang regularly impugns conservative authors as dishonest, yet characteristic of his reporting, his preferred tactic is dishonesty and lies.
