Misleading title, Axios did not do this, but rather the referenced a study that they later discovered did this.

It’s on them for not learning this sooner, but let’s not act like they’re the ones who sent it up to try and manipulate political reporting.

Still pretty bad though. "Hey, this study agrees with what we want to publish, let's do this thing without fact checking!" Nobody gives a fuck anymore. We're doomed.
