I have to confess that I really just do not care that the WaPo printed a lie about Trump's phone call Did you take it seriously when it happened? Why? Why would you *not* look at that, roll your eyes, and just assume you're being lied to? I hope you do so next time.

It matters because of the amount of times I've seen that quote around. It was obviously false but too many people used it as a basis to spread the lie. It was also brought up regarding impeachment which is a significant issue.

"It was printed in WaPo" is enough to discredit it. There are entire classes of statements that are always false coming from WaPo / NYT / Harvard - where they have negative credibility.

That's not for me though. I understand that. But there are plenty of people who either don't understand that or understand it but use it as a cover to spread lies. Until there are consequences for these lies, this sort of thing will continue.

The consequence is that they've lost their ability to make aware people believe their claims.
