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.
The two stories, published in March 2017 and February 2019, were changed when the newspaper’s executive editor, Sally Buzbee, said she could no longer stand by their accuracy. The post added editor’s notes, amended headlines, removed sections identifying Sergei Millian as the source and deleted an accompanying video summarizing the articles.
The changes came after Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the Trump-Russia probe further discredited the already-shaky dossier when Russian national Igor Danchenko, who is believed to be a sub-source for the dossier, was indicted.
The Post’s media reporter Paul Farhi wrote the indictment suggests "Danchenko may have gotten his information about the hotel encounter not from Millian but from a Democratic Party operative with long-standing ties to Hillary Clinton," noting Clinton ally Charles Dolan Jr. could be the unnamed operative when he penned an article announcing the changes.
The now-corrected reporting also popped up in other Washington Post articles.
A March 29, 2017 article headlined, "Trump’s First 100 Days: An investigation," now features a lengthy editor’s note that has become quite common among the paper's archives.

A day late and a dollar short... eff press toadies... and their lame re-writes...
If the FBI knew it was fake, so did WaPo, so did Schiff. They all knew.
Are they going to return the awards?
Of course they did!
Nobody in Washington DC can keep a secret for long!.................
“when it corrected and altered two stories”
Sounds kinda like The Ministry of Truth. Down the memory hole.
Have they decided yet whether or not Comrade Ogilvy had been awarded the Order of Conspicuous Merit?
But have they given their awards for the reporting back?
As Gorka said on Breitbart today, if Roger Stone can be convicted and jailed for lying to congress, Adam Schiff should be jailed for life. (paraphrasing)
The NYT got a Pulitzer for their Russian Hoax reporting.
I will love to see them return it........................
I’m sure they ran it through Winston Smith at the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth to make the corrections, and put the original story down the Memory Hole.
... and then they executed Winston................
Their new motto should be—”Democracy died in darkness—and we turned off the lights.”
”Democracy died in darkness—and we turned off the lights... to save energy”........................
bkmk
Yes, yes it does...
Probably conspiracy too. For WaPo to make a retraction years later is just so phony.
Not enough integrity in the place to even consider it... In a related story - the ‘pulitzer board’ hasn’t pulled back the ‘award’ yet - all these years later... liberal commie ‘elites’ stand together... and let this sh*t stand:
New York Times Statement About 1932 Pulitzer Prize Awarded to Walter Duranty
Duranty, one of the most famous correspondents of his day, won the prize for 13 articles written in 1931 analyzing the Soviet Union under Stalin. Times correspondents and others have since largely discredited his coverage.
Excellent.
