@jamisonfoser they changed it to clarify that he says he never met her, right?

@nycsouthpaw Not quite. Initially they said he says he never met her … AND that they had determined they never met. -
@jamisonfoser@nycsouthpaw Yes, that's exactly what happened. The WaPo never meant to say it determined that as fact. -
@AmyEGardner Thanks. As you might imagine, I think that’s a pretty huge error to have made. -
@jamisonfoser Among the remarkable, rock-solid revelations in this story, I might stop short of "huge." We make mistakes and we fix them. -
@AmyEGardner You don’t think the WP asserting that it had determined Jackie lied when it had not in fact determined that is a big deal? -
@jamisonfoser Wld be bigger if we'd meant to assert - was an editing error. We corrected as soon as we discovered it, and admitted it next. - View other replies

@AmyEGardner WaPo’s admission (which wasn’t much of one) of error has been deleted. Why? cc:@mboorsteinhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/u-va-fraternity-to-rebut-claims-of-gang-rape-in-rolling-stone/2014/12/05/5fa5f7d2-7c91-11e4-84d4-7c896b90abdc_story.html …

@jamisonfoser@marynmck No it's still there ... Read sentence above.@TReesShapiro What's the reason there? -
@leonardkl@marynmck@TReesShapiro No it isn’t. The Post claimed it had determined they never met. It deleted that claim. - View other replies

@jamisonfoser@marynmck@TReesShapiro True it is deleted from the bottom but added to the sentence before it; unless I'm missing something. - View other replies

@leonardkl@marynmck@TReesShapiro … claiming that you’ve determined they never met. -
@jamisonfoser@marynmck Gotcha. OK@washingtonpost,@TReesShapiro Should issue editor's note/clarification. -
@leonardkl@marynmck@washingtonpost@TReesShapiro Agreed. (It added an insufficient one on Friday, since deleted: https://twitter.com/jamisonfoser/status/540955703444533248 … )

@jamisonfoser Hard to see how the Post could “confirm” that the two of them never met. -
@JonHenke Right. Stunning that made it through editing. -
@jamisonfoser Eh, they fixed it. Only problem, it seems, is fixing not the fly without noting changes. - View other replies

@JonHenke That’s a pretty big problem to publish in the first place. It’s a direct statement by the Post that she lied. -
@jamisonfoser Yeah, it’s flawed. I’d just chalk it up to the kind of errors you make when rushing a story, not an intentional claim. -
@JonHenke Yeah, I’m not saying they intentionally lied. I am, however, saying it’s a HUGE fuck up. -
@jamisonfoser Journalism should adopt a wikipedia revision transparency approach to publishing/editing. -
@JonHenke endorsed.
