The following was published on January 15, 2021 under the title “Statement.”
It has now been re-titled as “Retraction” and posted on the home page of American Thinker.
______
We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatory statements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their request that we publish the following statement:
American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently.
These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims.
It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees. We also apologize to our readers for abandoning 9 journalistic principles and misrepresenting Dominion’s track record and its limited role in tabulating votes for the November 2020 election. We regret this grave error.

They’ll get sued anyway.
In other words, “We’re caving because we don’t want to be sued into bankruptcy. Money is more important than truth.”
Im sure the lawyers are funded by soros
Dominion needs this shoved up their arse !
LOL! We already know it happened. Now that they have had time to cover up the evidence they are threating the people that reported it. That is all.
A tactic the American Marxists have used successfully for the last 20 years.
It looks like American Thinker doesn’t have very deep pockets. However, this “retraction” bears no weight against the evidence currently out there. Because where there’s smoke..
A tactic the American Marxists have used successfully for the last 20 100 years.
Fixed it.
AND... since AT discontinued Comments...they now want me to download an app or create an account to post comments at their new blog site.
“...we invite you to visit the American Thinker Forum at MeWe. There, you can converse with other American Thinker readers and comment freely (subject to MeWe’s terms of use). The Forum will be fully populated and ready for comments by midday (Eastern time) each day.”
No thank you.
Dominion. The meaning of the name says it all.
I didn’t know Dominion cheated. I thought they were simply the gateway that made it possible for others to cheat.
Those are two separate things.
If bank robbers use a Chevy as the getaway vehicle, you don’t blame General Motors - but you may have a strong case to support the claim that the Chevy enabled them to get away.
Y’all can write any kind of ‘traction’ y’all want.
The people have already got it in their minds that this dominion thing is all in on fixing votes.
Period!
I am glad the American Thinker did this.
More news outlets need to do publish similar articles and more people who made these false allegations need to do come forward and admit what was said was incorrect. This issue has hurt these voting machines companies and a huge number of people who bought into this conspiracy.
Just in case something like this comes up in the future, I want to know who is putting false information out there.
Hey, Ruger builds guns that can be used to murder people. This has always shaped up to be one of those cases of: “Hey, we know our product can be misused, but we don’t advocate that” type of disclaimer. That’s why I always insisted to my friends to be careful of accusing Dominion, but rather look to accuse those actually using Dominion systems to cheat.
Surrender monkey POS outfit!
Anything debunked by the deep state is likely real and true beyond dispute.
They need to apologize for more than this...such as indicating President Trump didn’t have COVID and “all signs point to a false positive” - even AFTER he was put in the hospital and he had personally confirmed his diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment.
Really?
