Full title: Washington Post admits gaffe after putting story on Kavanaugh coaching basketball in ‘Public Safety’ section
The Washington Post admitted it made a blunder on Wednesday by placing a story about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh coaching youth basketball under the “Public Safety” section online.
Kavanaugh, who recently returned to coach his daughter’s basketball team, was famously accused of sexual assault during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Kavanaugh denied all allegations and was confirmed after an FBI investigation.
Media watchdogs were then shocked when Ann Marimow’s Nov. 27 piece on his youth coaching appeared in the “Public Safety” section. However, the paper claims it was simply a mistake and changed it to the “Local” section after a backlash.
“Legal affairs stories written by that author automatically default to the public safety category. Obviously, this one shouldn’t have been there and once we caught the error we corrected it,” a Post spokesperson said in a statement, first obtained by Law & Crime and confirmed by Fox News.

-—yeah-—”blunder” , I bet-—(sarc)
Blame it on the computer.................
Mistake my Aunt Fanny! a**holes
The Washington Compost is just Fake News anyways
I guess their editors are really dumb and didn’t notice this “mistake”
Or it was deliberate
But they want us to believe they are dumb
Blunder now for maximum impact, retract in the distant future in a way that will not be noticed.
That’s responsible propaganda.
It wasn’t a gaffe.
It was a snarky inside joke that they all thought would be very clever until someone called them out on it.
I was following this pretty closely and missed this. Who did he assault during the hearing?

All CNN stories default to fake news.
“But they want us to believe they are dumb”
Close. They believe WE are dumb...
It was obviously not a mistake. Standard Operating Procedure by the a-holes in the Fake News media, including the planned retraction, which calls attention to their sick implication. They live for this gas-lighting crap. Screw them. I agree with Hannity that journalism died in 2008.
The Washington Post sucks.
Intentional.
The only assault I saw was verbal when he lit into the RATs on that committee, it was beautiful. ;^)

Every mistake made by WaPo is favorable to the Left.
Every single one.
So the benefit of the doubt on this is zero.
A public safety announcement???
So then, they have decided we should be warned about our daughters being on his basketball teams??? Are they really going there????
Certainly Not News (CNN)
No gaffe! deliberate and intentional.
