While the Washington Post has been forced to take the drastic step of effectively retracting two major articles involving the Steele Dossier, don't expect this to prompt much wider reflection about the journalistic failures of Russiagate. Because that'd indict the entire industry

Despite how humiliating this episode is for WaPo, it still won't occasion any kind of comprehensive re-examination of the media's complicity in Russiagate fraud. Because if that were ever done, most of the US media ecosystem would have to "retract" itselfhttps://rokfin.com/article/6581

Also note: WaPo continues to euphemistically avoid admitting what they've actually done, which is retract the phony articles in question. I guess acknowledging they had to outright *retract* articles by their Pulitzer-winning Russiagate reporters could be a bit of a PR headachepic.twitter.com/9aW2z67gsB

Not much by way of explanation lately from the WaPo journalists who wrote the bogus articles, either. I don't know, if my Pulitzer Caliber Reporting had to be retracted years later in humiliating fashion, that's something I might want to clarifypic.twitter.com/xULfG0EJQv

No wonder at all. Default position is they’re wrong. I do wonder what they got right.

It really does pay to the bidding of the establishment. $15,000 prize.
