New York Post reporter resigns over "incorrect" Harris book story

Zoom in: The story headlined, "Kam On In: Solo kids at border welcomed with copy of veep's book," claimed that migrant children at a shelter in Long Beach, California, were receiving copies of Harris' book as part of their "welcome kits."

• The editor's note stated that "only one known copy of the book was given to a child." CNN notes that the donation was actually to the shelter's collection.

What they're saying: Journalist Laura Italiano said in her resignation announcement posted to Twitter that the article was "an incorrect story I was ordered to write and which I failed to push back hard enough against — was my breaking point."

Of note: CNN fact-checking journalist Daniel Dale noted the Post had temporarily taken down a follow-up story on the book report, headlined: "Psaki has no answers when asked about Harris' book being given to child migrants."

• It was reposted with an editor's note similar to one in the other updated report on Harris.
• The Post did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
