WATCH: President Trump says "Robert E. Lee was a great general" during Ohio rally, calling the Confederate leader "incredible."
Conversation
CORRECTION: An earlier tweet misidentified the general President Trump described as "incredible" at a rally in Ohio. It was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, not Gen. Robert E. Lee. An attached video clip lacked the full context for Trump's remark. Here is the full clip.

This is embarrassing for NBC. Why wasn’t the error caught at the editorial level? It makes it look like the clip was mischaracterized on purpose.

The legacy media wouldn't need to make so many corrections, if they didn't WANT so badly for the falsehood to be true.

"Mistakes" like this are part of the reason why many people distrust the media. Way to add some wood to the fire.
