  • While "The Guardian" claimed to be Denver's "oldest" news source, the site's domain was first registered only a few months before in July 2016;[9]
  • The story on Clinton appeared to be the only article on the website (it was "the only story showing up under the "News" section and all other sections are turning up errors");[9]
  • While the story quoted a "Walkerville Police Chief Pat Frederick", there is no Walkerville, Maryland. There is a Walkersville, Maryland, but the city does not have a police department.[9] The address the site listed for "The Guardian" newsroom was actually a parking lot.[10][9]

Jestin Coler, as of April 2022, is running for the Indiana House of Representatives.[11]
