"Dave Weigel relied on an inaccurate image in tweeting about President Trump’s"

Bull$hit... either he knew, but posted the lie anyway, or he did not know, then he is a poor reporter not to double-check something so easy to check.

but why even post something like that if you work for the WaPo? It was obviously posted with malice towards Trump - with so much malice that the journalist couldn’t take 5 minutes to confirm the pic was legit.

He has been fired before around 2010-11 for the same thing. This time he blamed it on another person, who replied that he hasn’t been in contact with Weigel for a year....so he has another lie to get out of the picture lie. He Belongs at CNN.

Yes, exactly. Seems a lot like Dan Rather airing the phony story about Bush. Their hatred means they don't bother to check for accuracy.
