“PBS NewsHour” senior correspondent Judy Woodruff issued an apology Wednesday after her comments about former President Trump’s role in Gaza cease-fire talks sparked criticism.
“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the prime minister of Israel urging him not to cut a deal right now because … it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” Woodruff said while broadcasting from the Democratic National Convention on Monday.

In a post on social platform X, Woodruff said Wednesday she wanted to clarify her comments.
“As I said, this was not based on my original reporting; I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having spoken to the Israeli Prime Minister,” Woodruff wrote. “In the live TV moment, I repeated the story because I hadn’t seen later reporting that both sides denied it.”
***snip***
Axios reported last week that Trump and Netanyahu spoke about a hostage and cease-fire deal, but it later reported that Netanyahu’s office denied the conversation.
Reuters reported similar information, citing Axios. The stories did not report that Trump urged Netanyahu to not take a deal.

So Woodfruff, in her “apology”, blames other “news” outlets for her comments, but those other outlets never reported what Woodruff said was being reported by those outlets about Trump and his involvement with any cease fire deal.
It’s just lie, on top of lie, on top of lie,….

Unsurprising. Judy Woodruff has long been the Tokyo Rose of the establishment left.
To: hole_n_one
So essentially she lied and is blaming others for her lying. Yeh makes total sense in today’s media

Oh, yeah?
Only harmful things against Trump get right through.
Favorable (94% unfavorable on news outlets) will have to be carefully vetted by anti-American socialists before reaching the viewers. Sure.

Such a wonder. Next thing you know Leslie Stahl will be apologizing for her interview with Trump in 2020 where she said there was no evidence the laptop was genuine

Woodruff “clarified” but damn well & smugly knew the damage was already cemented in the minds of viewers & listeners of liberal media.
As usual, it is make the hi-decibel, flagrant charge, then extend your remarks in a perfunctory manner, safe in the knowledge that everyone sees the damning initial report but few will see, or care about, the revised statement.

Woodruff lets other news agencies do the investigating/inventing for her. What does she care? She gets paid no matter what.

Woodruff made the charge Monday but waited until Wednesday to offer a mea culpa of sorts.
A charge no doubt already echoed all over the internet by that time.

So she said ithe incorrect info at first on PBS NewsHour and basically her retraction was done on social media where I’m sure the same numbers heard it. Right.

Why would anybody care, everybody knows that PBS is a socialist-liberal-communist front organization sucking off the taxpayers teat.
Nobody but LIB/SOCIALIST/PROG/COMMUNIST/ANTIFA scumbags were watching the D umb N umb C retin convention anyway.
