When a source provides faulty info the source should be exposed.

I believe that the legal standard is once you have shown to have told a lie on the witness stand, everything else you say can also be assumed to be a lie. I believe sources of news should be held, at least, to the same standard.

This was not an 'error'. This was a lie.

It's the Post. The source could have been the reporter, making it up.

“attributes the misquote to faulty “information provided by a source””

Full audio recording of the call was available. I listened to the whole thing. There’s no need for “a source” to attribute information through when anyone can listen to the whole thing.

Lame excuse.

What if the source answers to the name of “Jeff?”

Nope Trump should be able to sue the Washington post for Damages. You got to hit them where it hurts.

No surprise they were played. It’s unlikely they will burn the so-called source as this one will make up any conspiracy theory the eneMedia can propagate.
