So @jaketapper and the @factcheckdotorg folks did a fact check of Bernie and Ocasio-Cortez and made a mistake. They listened to criticism and are now correcting. Mistakes happen, it shows integrity to own up and fix, especially because the internet is so vicious and unforgiving/1

This wasn't a correction, Ryan. He's doubled down in a big way.

This is such a week argument considering they fucked up on the correction.

I agree, but Tapper is doubling down on a lot of it.

They didnt correct it, tho. They pivoted and kept the general, whiny thrust of their false story.

1/ Like you, I want to defend journalists, too. But what Tapper did - is still doing, last I checked - wasn’t “a mistake”, it was egregious malpractice with apparent malice of forethought. That’s antithetical to the principles of journalism.
-
2/2 And now he’s trying to downplay and cover this over - with a non-apology apology!? Good grief. And *that*, to me, is what’s so disappointing and infuriating.

#CNN and people like Jake Tapper grossly misconstrue, misrepresent, and malign those who are against the corporations they represent day in and day out. The idea that dragging him for this terrible, poorly researched hit job is out of place is nonsensical on its face.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Why do we punish people who have already admitted wrong doing? Usually to make sure they don't do it again

The fact checker including Jake has not yet admitted to all the mistakes . Even an hour ago Jake is using other Fact Checkers as his defence .

I think the piling on Jake is bc it's on top of years of CNN's corporatist agenda + the perception that they don't factcheck corporatist establishment politicians in the same way. Not sure if that's an accurate perception.
