Fashion police blow whistle on ‘Fake News’ T-shirt

- Leonard Greene

Fake news is not cool.

Just ask Bloomingda­le’s, which is being called out over a T-shirt imprinted with “Fake News” that was spotted in a department store in White Plains.

The shirt on a mannequin drew the ire of WPIX reporter Allison Kaden, who tweeted on Sunday, “Hey @Bloomingda­les, this isn’t funny or fashionabl­e. It further delegitimi­zes hardworkin­g journalist­s who bring REAL news to their communties.”

The post had been retweeted more than 1,000 times with nearly 3,000 favorites by Monday afternoon. Bloomingda­le’s responded to Kaden’s post on Monday, apologizin­g and saying it would be “working quickly” to remove the shirt. “Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we apologize for any offense we may have caused.,” a store representa­tive tweeted. “We take this feedback very seriously and are working quickly to remove this T-shirt. Again, thank you for taking the time to alert us.”
