DEVASTATING PROOF OF MEDIA BIAS: New York Times Airbrushes Away Democrat’s Embarrassing False Claim
Red State ^ | 3/2/2017 | by Patterico

Posted on 03/03/2017 5:11:12 PM PST by Lazamataz

Jay Caruso noted that Senator Claire McCaskill had claimed early today never to have met with a Russian ambassador:

Follow Claire McCaskill ✔ @clairecmc I've been on the Armed Services Com for 10 years.No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever. Ambassadors call members of Foreign Rel Com. 7:06 AM - 2 Mar 2017 13,293 13,293 Retweets 20,929 20,929 likes Then undeniable documentary and photographic evidence emerged that she had.

I bet she wishes she could just airbrush that initial tweet from history — like it never happened.

Kinda like the New York Times did today with her claim.

They reported it — and then, when they figured out it was wrong, they simply vanished it. Whoosh. Presto-change-o! It was never there. Did you hear me? It was never there.

Earlier today, The Times — and yes, I will name the reporters; they are Eric Lichtblau, Michael D. Shear, and Charlie Savage — published an article titled Democrats Call for Sessions to Recuse Himself From Russia Inquiry. (It now reads Jeff Sessions Recuses Himself from Russia Inquiry.) As the day went on, The Times revised the article in various ways, using the same URL, never noting their edits.

But my favorite edit came to the following paragraph, which was in the original story:

Claire from the “show me” state.

Yep, she was there.

The Russian ambassador was also there.

Claire seems to have a bad case of the Pelosi Memory Syndrome.

I hereby recuse myself, and deeply apologize to both the media and Senator McCaskill.

Listen, I want Session to not only be successful, but to bring justice to our land once again.

So far, he has announced:

- "I am building my team"

- "I don't recall" (x5)

- "I recuse myself"

- "I apologize if I was not more clear"

Meanwhile, Soros has raised a domestic terrorist army, Obama and Jarrett have waged a Deep State coup d'etat, and the Clinton Crime Foundation has been allowed to destroy evidence and move Billions to off shore accounts.

I am not impressed with Sessions so far.

Maybe. But justice delayed is justice deniers. Meanwhile, our enemies are getting away with murder, literally. Oh, and Sessions also said he asked Obama Justice Dept appointees to tell him what to do, and they (surprise) told him to recuse himself, even though there was no ethical or legal reason to do so. Sessions complied.
