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.

Replying to @politicalmath
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.

Replying to @jlocke613 @politicalmath
"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.

Like I said, they've burned their credibility on a whole range of claims such that only the stupid or deranged take them seriously.

Did you believe that WaPo story when it was published? Were you surprised when they admitted that they lied? How often are you surprised in this way? Are you constantly surprised because you are stupid and unable to make reasonable predictions or is there another reason?

Did you predict that this story was a lie? I did. @politicalmath did... and the author of the story did too.
It's not a "correction" if you know it was a lie from the start.
