NARRATIVE COLLAPSE: WaPo Admits Inventing Trump ‘Find The Fraud’ Quotes, Quietly Issues ‘Correction’

The Post’s full, seven-sentence correction attributes the misquote to faulty “information provided by a source”:

Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to “find the fraud” or say she would be “a national hero” if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find “dishonesty” there. He also told her that she had “the most important job in the country right now.” A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.

The headline now reads “Trump pressured a Georgia elections investigator in a separate call legal experts say could amount to obstruction” as opposed to “‘Find the fraud’: Trump pressured a Georgia elections investigator in a separate call legal experts say could amount to obstruction.” — Source

When the mainstream media spreads a narrative of Trump threatening Georgia officials … and we again find the fact they have lied, and have done so for years, is it now proper to conclude that MSM has become nothing but a propaganda machine to push their narrative.
