Washington Post runs correction admitting it ‘misquoted’ Trump in Georgia election story

They were just caught..

By themselves. They didn't intentionally lie. If they did, you would like them more.

 

[Shelzin]

See, that's why a lot of us trust them. They correct themselves when they make a mistake.

Yeah... They seem to make a lot of mistakes before an election, and then fix them after. Odd that.

Of course they did it intentionally.....they intentionally said things were said, and they did so, without the transcript....without proof......they could have easily waited......but didn't...that was on purpose...intentional..

Your continue defense of this and projection just highlights that you are the one that lives them

This was WAY after the election.

Nah, that's just self soothing cultism. They got their sourced quotes wrong. But nailed the meaning. Which is why the cult isn't trying to deny the meaning.

 

[MarcATL]

your comments about "right wing" media....just projection on your part and deflection from the fact that left propagandist got caught once again....and you one of their little fish have click bait all over your face

lol.

That was a good one.

Not nearly the headline grabber though is it. It was, as so many WaPo and other headlines have been, about Trump, that is, fake news.

It took them two months to do this.

The Washington Post admitted in a correction that it had “misquoted” former President Donald Trump telling Georgia’s top elections investigator “to find the fraud,” in December.​

​

The correction ran atop an online version of the updated original story that had quoted an anonymous source about a phone call Trump made to Georgia’s top elections investigation official shortly before Christmas.​

​

“Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source,” the correction published Thursday began.​

​

“Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there. He also told her that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now.'”​

Why is this a problem? This is what legitimate responsible news sources do - they print corrections and retractions.

Two full months after the published the story. Admitting they used ONE unconfirmed source. There used to be a standard that any story needed at least TWO confirmed sources before publication.

It took the Post long enough...but just further proof they are nothing more then propaganda for the lefist

And! NBC News had "confirmed" the original [fake] story, as did several other media outlets!

The MSM is one giant circle-jerk where they confirm a story by asking the man-in-the-moon apparently. Or each other.

The MSM is not a free press but propagandists for the DemonRats.

They never had a story, they made it up, as they did repeatedly with stories about Trump.

It wasn't a fake story. What he said in the recording did not substantially differ from what was reported.

You better tell that to Georgia. They're investigating Trump's calls.

They are using no sources to not report on Traitor Joe©™.

And Republicans cower in fear over the fake news MSM. Thus we lose our Republic to hardcore leftists. While idiot leftist posters drool all over themselves responding to this thread.

Yeah..."Mistake" in a banner headline, the "correction" at the bottom of the back page of the style section.

They knew it was a lie. Then the Wall Street Journal got a copy of the actual tape and they had no choice.

And NBC News "confirmed" the original story. How'd they do that? LOL As did other "news" outlets.
