The Washington Post Issues a "Correction" Which Clarifies That Every Claim Made In Their Story Stating that Trump Told the George Secretary of State to "Find the Fraud" Was a Lie
That’s
from Maggie’s Farm. Below is from Fox News.
"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. 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.' A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been
corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump."
What is really telling: “…based on information provided by a
source.” OK so somebody tells a reporter, “I heard the president say this in a
telephone conversation with the Georgia secretary of state.” And the reporter
writes he story. And the newspaper prints the story. Remember that Army
lieutenant colonel who told a reporter he talked with someone who overheard one
end of a telephone conversation, and the reporter took the officer’s word?
Those people never learn. Someone tells them what they want to hear, and they
write a story.
In journalism school, that gets you an F. And a talk with a
teacher or three.
