The mainstream media continues to embarrass itself.
On nearly every big story they have been on the wrong side of it.
The worst case of this was Russiagate.
The Washington Post was just forced to issue a huge correction:
New: The â¦@washingtonpostâ© corrects, removes parts of two stories regarding the Steele dossier. Latest by me: https://t.co/2FqaHFQUAh
— Paul Farhi (@farhip) November 12, 2021
“The Washington Post took the unusual step of correcting and removing large portions of two articles, published March 2017 and February 2019, that had identified a Belarusian American businessman as a key source of the “Steele Dossier,” a collection of largely unverified reports that claimed the Russian government had compromising information about then-candidate Donald Trump.”
Side note:
The Steele dossier was not “a collection of largely unverified reports.”
The Steele dossier was Clinton campaign funded Russian disinformation.

Julie Kelly did a deep dive into some of the journalists’ other work:
“The 2017 and 2019 stories were written by veteran reporters Rosalind S. Helderman and Tom Hamburger. They declined to comment.â€

Worked like a charm! “Fiona Hill, a former Russia expert on the National Intelligence Council, said putting the emails out on WikiLeaks for the world to see is consistent with her view of the modus operandi of Putin and Russian intelligence.†https://t.co/COO6NsTGsJ

More from @thamburger and @PostRoz in June 2016:
“The Post reported that hackers tied to the Russian government had gained access to the Democratic National Committee’s opposition research file on Trump.â€https://t.co/4PC5H1vowe

The Washington Post did something many other liberal outlets have failed to do and corrected previous reporting that relied on the discredited Steele dossier that accused former President Donald Trump of an extensive conspiracy with the Russians.
“The Washington Post on Friday took the unusual step of correcting and removing large portions of two articles, published in March 2017 and February 2019, that had identified a Belarusan American businessman as a key source of the ‘Steele dossier,’ a collection of largely unverified reports that claimed the Russian government had compromising information about then-candidate Donald Trump,” Post media reporter Paul Farhi wrote.
“The newspaper’s executive editor, Sally Buzbee, said The Post could no longer stand by the accuracy of those elements of the story. It had identified businessman Sergei Millian as ‘Source D,’ the unnamed figure who passed on the most salacious allegation in the dossier to its principal author, former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele,” Farhi continued.
The post added editor’s notes, amended headlines, removed sections identifying Millian as the source and deleted an accompanying video summarizing the article.
“Source D, according to the dossier, alleged that Russian intelligence had learned that Trump had hired Russian prostitutes to defile a Moscow hotel room once occupied by President Obama and Michelle Obama and possessed a video recording of the incident,” Farhi wrote. “The allegation, which the dossier said was confirmed by a second person described only as ‘Source E,’ has never been substantiated.”
