NY Times Erases Inconvenient Facts[W:83]

No, McCaskill not telling the truth was not relevant to this story. That's nonsense.
News media only needs to issue a retraction when they report something which isn't true. The Times did not report something which wasn't true.

They reported McCaskill criticizing Sessions and they used a direct quote from McCaskill. But the Times did not report something which was false. And they have another article about McCaskill's false statement.
Except they didn't. Read the original paragraph again. They merely reported what McCaskill said, nothing more. They did not take a position on McCaskill's claims, merely reported them.

Except they did not report something that was false. Everything the Times reported was true. McCaskill's statement was false, but she did, in fact, make that statement and she did indeed make the statement to cast doubt on Sessions claims. The Times was NOT wrong, their report was correct.

Period.
I'm just going to stop your post right here. I'll let you figure out why.

Have a great day.

It should be when she excoriates someone publicly for doing exactly what she did. It's always a good thing to point out hypocrisy. Not so much for you guys but I like the effort to keep it clean.

Naturally most members of the Trump Cult would love to make this about McCaskill...
especially since they can't twist this one around to HRC.:2razz:

I guess you can't reasonably be expected to apprehend that it is a question of the context of those meetings.
Too complex for you, perhaps?
