Online news website Deadline on Thursday admitted to accidentally publishing a draft story that incorrectly stated that Vice President Pence tested positive for COVID-19.
“A draft post of a story about Vice President Mike Pence testing positive for coronavirus that was never meant to publish was accidentally posted on Deadline,” the news organization said in a statement on its website roughly 30 minutes after the story had been posted. The outlet added that the article was “pulled down immediately.”
“It never should have been posted and Deadline will take steps to see this kind of thing never happens again,” the statement continued. “Apologies to the Vice President and our readers. We regret the error.”
The vice president tested negative for the virus each day from Friday to Monday after news broke early last Friday morning that President Trump and first lady Melania Trump had contracted the disease.
The vice president tested negative again Wednesday ahead of the vice presidential debate against Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) in Utah.
The draft Deadline story, which also appeared to have been shared on the outlet’s Twitter page, included the headline, “PREP. DO NOT PUBLISH UNTIL THE NEWS CROSSES. Vice President Mike Pence Tests Positive for Coronavirus 8 Days After Donald Trump.”

“...Deadline will take steps to see this kind of thing never happens again”
Next time they’ll say he has syphilis.
“PREP. DO NOT PUBLISH UNTIL THE NEWS CROSSES.”
Interesting that they used the word “until” rather than the word “unless”.
“accidentally posted”
Oops! They accidentally posted it! Whoops!
do they know something we don’t??
Is this another arrow in the Pelosi quiver??
So they did the same contaminated cleaning spray for the VP debates?

Either someone has a time machine, or the media was constructing another fake news hit piece and they exposed themselves.
Exactly.
I suppose one of their crack journalist just happened to write the story based on “confidential source”.
Did they give him a sample too and thought he’d be positive by now or are they just lying?
Just as accurate as any of the Fake News Media.
So the debate commission changes the rules, Pelosi tries to invoke the 25th amendment, and a story about Pence testing positive, all on the day after a disastrous debate for Harris. They are losing this election, and they know it.
The deep state media is all coordinated. They have everything planned out ahead of time. This means that media organizations were told to plan for such an event. Be ready to jump on the story immediately.
If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. Plan Xzillion: COVID. (Trump and Pence must now both drop out.)
Oh yeah, totally an accident.
It would be pointless to write this story before it happened because the circumstances wouldn't be known UNTIL they happened.
Why bother writing a story that would have to be totally re-written after the details came out?
Very odd...
they have a bunch of crap written about people that never happened, ready to go
you know it, this proves it
Makes one wonder how 3rd-in-line-for-the-presidency Pelosi's 25th amendment ploy might tie into this. It's getting harder and harder to dismiss the idea that there's a treacherous and desperate full court press to steal America.
