The New York Times Retracts the Sicknick Story

[excalibur]

There was no retraction. The OP is false.

They didn't call it one, but yes, there was a retraction.

Which is why I said they did it "quietly". Their dishonesty never ends.

 

[Meathead]

Weeks after spreading lies and more of their fake news they finally retract, quietly.

​

In a quiet but stunning correction, the New York Times backed away from its original report that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by a Trump supporter wielding a fire extinguisher during the January 6 melee at the Capitol building. Shortly after American Greatness published my column Friday that showed how the Times gradually was backpedaling on its January 8 bombshell, the paper posted this caveat:​

​

​

UPDATE: New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police.

​

The paper continued to revise its story within the body of the original January 8 story: “Law enforcement officials initially said Mr. Sicknick was struck with a fire extinguisher, but weeks later, police sources and investigators were at odds over whether he was hit. Medical experts have said he did not die of blunt force trauma, according to one law enforcement official.”​

​

What’s missing, however, is how the Times first described what happened to Sicknick. “Mr. Sicknick, 42, an officer for the Capitol Police, died on Thursday from brain injuries he sustained after Trump loyalists who overtook the complex struck him in the head with a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement officials.”​

​

The account of Sicknick’s death was reported as fact, not speculation or rumor. Further, it appears that the anonymous sources were not law enforcement officials but people “close” to the police department—which means they could have been anyone from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to inveterate liar U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to the Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser.​

​

Not only was the Times’ untrue story about Sicknick’s death accepted as fact by every news media organization from the Wall Street Journal to the Washington Post, political pundits on the NeverTrump Right also regurgitated the narrative that Sicknick was “murdered” as did lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.​

It is what we expect from NYT, which has become the equivalent of a National Enquirer broadsheet.

Well, that lets the rioters off the hook, doesn't it? What a coincidence that he suffers a totally unrelated medical crisis immediately after battling physically with protestors--but it could have happened. He would have had the same outcome if he'd been home watching tv, right? I think we've been hearing this for days, actually. There is no bruising or fractures that would indicate blunt force trauma with a fire extinguisher. I'll wait for the full medical examiner's report. I've read enough of Patricia Cornwall's novels to know it's best to wait.

Did anyone say it lets the rioters off the hook? I didn't see a single person saying that anywhere.

Our point is that the left-wingers, Democrats, and socialists lie constantly about everything, including a claim that someone here pointing out the false statement by left-wing media, means "that let's rioters off the hook". You yourself, now justify what we've been saying.

Democrats are disgusting scum that will make up false claims while standing graves, to try and paint others in a bad light.

​

According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true.​

​

One possibility being considered by investigators is that Sicknick became ill after interacting with a chemical irritant like pepper spray or bear spray that was deployed in the crowd. But investigators reviewing video of the officer's time around the Capitol haven't been able to confirm that in tape that has been recovered so far, the official said.​

​

The case could also be complicated if Sicknick had a preexisting medical condition. It could not be learned if he did.​

And if they had said "we were told" instead of "Trump supporters kill office", I would have more sympathy.

That said, isn't the whole point of having those highly paid journalists, is to go and verify the story? Amazing how they routinely can't get the story right.

That's an old Goebbels trick. Say you were wrong but keep the story going, making believe your disingenuous retraction squared everything. Meanwhile the bogus story lives. How much longer are people going to waste their money and time on this rag?

This news is 2 weeks old! If Trump`s terrorist hadn`t attacked the United States on January 6th, Sicknick would be home with his family. The NYT is bad but not the goons who were searching for politicians to murder?

 

[Claudette]

The Left can't help lying.

There was no retraction. The OP is false.

Show proof that he was hit with a fire extinguisher.

Show proof you weren't dropped on your head at birth. You provide evidence every day but I want proof.

You are claiming that the cop was murdered by Pro Activist protestors.
Show us the receipts.
His family are denying that he was hit.

They aren't the only ones. Hell they still don't know what killed him but he wasn't hit by anything.

 

[Soupnazi630]

There was no retraction. The OP is false.

They didn't call it one, but yes, there was a retraction.

The story still appears on their website.

If it is stil on their website and has not been retracted it merely shows that the NYT refuses to take responsiblity for their lies.

The descriotion of fake news was 100% accurate

Yeah. They have no risk of being deplatformed.Ever.
So, why should they?

They reported the blobbers murdering a cop. No need to retract.

A false report with fake details.
All we know for sure is the officer had a stroke. We do not know why. It is in fact possible that his stroke was connected to the fact that he had been pepper sprayed. But not highly probable and since he has been creamted we will likely never know.

They have no obligation to retract it but yes there is a need they are proving trunmp correct that they are fake news.

The unarmed Rioters let inside by Pelosi’s cops should be fully prosecuted.

Just as the ARMED rioters who BROKE INTO and BURNED AND LOOTED court houses, city halls and police stations were.

NADA
