The Washington Post Issues a "Correction" Which Clarifies That Every Claim Made In Their Story Stating that Trump Told the George Secretary of State to "Find the Fraud" Was a Lie
Ace of Spades citing wapo ^ | 3/15/2021 | ace

Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to “find the fraud” or say she would be “a national hero” if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find “dishonesty” there. He also told her that she had “the most important job in the country right now.” A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.

Why didn’t Trump release a voice recording of the call the next day?

I have seldom read an article from the WaPo but I read this one. The retraction is about only two of its lies, but the article if full of pure lies as well as misleading inaccuracies.

Yup,the fake news headline was blasted the night before the special election in GA as well as the BS with the $2000 checks. I was in GA when this was going on and had that sick feeling that our side had zero chance.

Because it was a privileged call to attempt to settle a pending court case, which was illegal to release at all, by any party.

Ok for the WaPo to publish a fake transcript?

(Hey, we didn’t publish the real thing, so we didn’t do anything wrong.)

But it would be illegal for Trump to publish the real thing to expose the lie?

Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga.

First rule in journalism it’s not what you report it’s what you don’t report that matters comrades.
