I may be a little slow, but it seems to me that Jeff Sessions would be one of the LAST people in the world, on whom you would want to do a false story.

Yep, two no value-add jobs.

FAKE APOLOGY:

He explained that he did not plan to delete the initial tweet, because that would make it appear that he was covering up his mistake.

“So, full stop, I was wrong, and I apologize to the attorney general for making this mistake. I wish I had caught the error in time to delete the tweet before it went viral. Alas, I did not,” Drezner concluded.

Yes. If they do fake stories, I am sure they do fake apologies too.

So when do we demand the resignation of that person responsible from that awful rag?! When the tables are turned in the case of Spicer who misspoke and the mediapukes went hogpig wild spewing vicious lies and twisting his words and rejected his apology ...so when do we expect that person to be tarred and feathered by the mediawhores?

That has to be a first. A liberal apologizing for spreading fake news. Even admitting it is amazing, but then to go the next step and apologizing. There may be hope for this person down the road. Though I won’t be holding my breath.

There was no mistake or error—he meant to publish what he did.

If an error, it was an error in judgment.

That’s a bit harsh. Blog pimps, yeah, you’re right. Bloggers in general, nah. Some of them are entertaining and every once and awhile provide useful info.

Yeah.. they all suck. Self-Identifying as a journalist doesn't make you a pilot.
