Scandals & Coverage
The United States 2016 election scandal
On November 9, as the 2016 United States presidential election was to be concluded, without waiting for the full disclosure of the votes, Posta published an article called "Clinton President!", assuming that she had won, which the newspaper had written beforehand according to the polls. The paper was criticised for acting too quickly and not waiting for the election to conclude.
