WaPo runs ‘major retraction’ for story on FBI, OAN and Rudy Giuliani (NY Times stealth edited theirs); Updated

Another day brings with it more retractions and corrections from a media outlet. First up is the Washington Post, and it’s in regards to a story that reported the FBI issued warnings to OAN and Rudy Giuliani that they were being targeted by a Russia disinformation campaign ahead of the November election.

But, as we’re quite used to, the original story containing the “fake news” got amplified immediately:

The New York Times had a similar story but made changes that as of now are not noted:

Nice try though, NY Times.

And, as usual…

The retraction is going to get, at most, 25% of the exposure the original article did. https://t.co/tYveYQExkj
