The Washington Post made headlines last week when it corrected and altered two stories that inaccurately identified a key source of the discredited anti-Trump Steele dossier – but the paper also added editor’s notes to at least 14 other reports.

They can’t correct five years of hate, hate, and more hate with a new sentence or two.

So I guess that makes them 12/12+x. They lied consistently for years on this and for decades on just about everything else.

Probably closer to 50+ million by now. Yes, they’re liars, so the American Public won’t get upset at those astronomical numbers.

Where’s the front page WaPo story telling their readers about their previous LIES?

The corrections will NEVER show up on the pages that were delivered to their homes and are sitting in the archives of public libraries all over the country!

So they admit they lied the whole time, having never followed up on the allegations of the folder, yet said they did?

They are simply proving themselves to be #FakeNews.

Adding notes or links to updates, corrections, etc. sounds OK to me. But altering what was originally published is just a facet of yellow journalism IMO.

The damage was done though.

Liberals always to the “I’m sorry” route and expect that is enough.

It’s the seriousness of the charge; the facts don’t matter.

WAPO (WHAAA-PO) should just print a full front-page headline, in boldface type the following:

“WE LIED - ABOUT EVERYTHING!”
