The New York Times Retracts the Sicknick Story

[Jarlaxle]

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

I agree.

Fine them for trespassing.

 

[Turtlesoup]

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.​

The New York Times Retracts the Sicknick Story

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?

What makes you think that they wanted to murder politicians and not just bring them to justice. Think most there just wanted to make a statement to get our corrupt pols from being corrupt pols.

 

[Sunsettommy]

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.

Do try keeping up:

"The New York Times issued a long-overdue correction to their reporting that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died from injuries sustained during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. In a report published on Jan. 8., The Times cited anonymous sources to claim that Officer Sicknick died from injuries he sustained after being struck in the head by a fire extinguisher during the riot. That original claim, however, has since been discredited."

Retraction? No.

Correction? No?

You can't read huh?

They NEVER retract their article based errors, while rarely post a correction.....

 

[Sunsettommy]

Our point is that the left-wingers, Democrats, and socialists lie constantly about everything,

I'm sorry if I misread you, but no one lied about anything! The NYT reported what they were told by the police.

That turned out to be a lie.... posted on this already.

The account of Sicknick’s death was reported as fact, not speculation or rumor.

No, the "fact" that was reported was the statements of law enforcement officials. It says so right there. You literally quoted it.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

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.

Kind of like having covid listed as your cause of death after you died from a heart attack huh

They were let inside, can’t even charge them with trespassing.

Looks like you are wrong and crazy again.

Your faux concern about rioters died with the armed mobs of Seattle and Portland murdering and breaking in and destroying Federal Courts, City Halls and police stations.

I COULD have been killed by a falling meteorite on my way to work this morning. It COULD have happened . . . but it didn't, which is why I'm here to make fun of your lame attempt to justify the NY Times lies.

Did anyone say, "So that lets the rioters totally off the hook!!!"? No, they didn't, so this is a straw man to try to distract from the topic. Likewise your "Oh, this is old news, we've been hearing the truth for days, so it doesn't matter that the Times published it."

I believe they called it a "correction". How that's actually different, they didn't explain.

I find it common Leftards are ignorant of all facts.

I hate to break it to you crybaby, but people are, indeed, being charged with and convicted of trespassing. Have you ever been right about ANYTHING?

Being charged by a kangaroo court like Trump?
You Commies always make people guilty then try them in kangaroo courts.

Along with CNN, the New York Times is probably the least credible news agency in the world right now.

And has been. NY Times lied to coverup Stalin’s genocide.

Yup, complete with the "correction", ie. the admission that the original story is crap.

 

[Cecilie1200]

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.

Blobbers are responsible for the cop's death. Trump supporters crave violence...always have...always will.
