Another major editor's note attached to a Washington Post Russiagate story (see others: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/russian-propaganda-effort-helped-spread-fake-news-during-election-experts-say/2016/11/24/793903b6-8a40-4ca9-b712-716af66098fe_story.html … & https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/russian-hackers-penetrated-us-electricity-grid-through-a-utility-in-vermont/2016/12/30/8fc90cc4-ceec-11e6-b8a2-8c2a61b0436f_story.html …). This one is essentially a retraction. There's no way for major media outlets can keep evading this accountability. It's crashing down.https://twitter.com/ErikWemple/status/1459212662915670017 …
The Washington Post just retracted two major stories it published on the Steele Dossier: with the perhaps unprecedented step of removing huge parts of the articles and re-writing them. Yet it still refuses to say who lied to make them publish this:https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/media-washington-post-steele-dossier/2021/11/12/f7c9b770-43d5-11ec-a88e-2aa4632af69b_story.html …
The scope of the media's Russiagate fraud is only starting to be appreciated. @mtaibbi has called it "this generation's WMDs" in terms of media malfeasance. Look at how extreme their conduct now is in trying to clean it up: reflecting what a huge, sustained fraud this was:pic.twitter.com/1P1GutKHvT
and, of course, the Russia probe was not based on the dossier so this is not really relevant
The Vermont thing was really egregious and obvious BS at the time, remember seeing that and going "yeah I don't trust this" lol
Does the presence of a correction at all mean that there's hope for accountability in the future?
I mean, it's better than no retraction/correction, but they usually do it only when absolutely forced to.
I know that you make money for reporting this sort of thing, but don't you ever give it a rest? most of America has moved past Russiagate, it didn't cost Trump the election, in fact, it helped him probably.
It was by far the biggest political story of the Trump years and the media flooded the country with lies and fake conspiracy theories. There's an ongoing investigation proving that - hence today's WPost retraction - so, no, I'm not going to just forget about it all.
How do they retract the last several years? Hours upon hours dedicated to this topic. How?
In spite of the retraction, WaPo manages to pat themselves on the back. "Additional reporting" Ha! Try "initial reporting".
