"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.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

When they published everyone with sense knew they'd correct later. When you publish something now with knowledge in advance that you'll have to issue a correction that is a lie. Or possibly everyone with sense knew the story was deceptive but the reporter who wrote it didn't.

So you were surprised by the correction and yet others weren't.
