The Washington Post’s fact-checking department has yet again quietly updated — rather than corrected — its most-read story, which contained glaring errors about first son Hunter Biden’s laptop and an infamous dinner involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi.
Glenn Kessler, the paper’s chief fact-checker, has made six updates and authored an entirely new article about The Post’s bombshell reports in October 2020 and May 2021 that revealed Hunter Biden introduced his father to Pozharskyi at Café Milano in Georgetown months after joining the natural gas firm’s board.
The initial fact check relied on statements from Andrew Bates — then a spokesman for the Biden campaign and now deputy White House press secretary — and Michael Carpenter, a former Biden foreign policy adviser and now a permanent US representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

The Washington Post is a mouthpiece for the Democrats. They don’t practice journalism, because they pick out what to report, and they do it intentionally. They think if they don’t report it, no one will know it happened. They are not journalists.

Why are they even bothering? It’s not like they have any credibility left to salvage.

When the story goes to crap, you have to adjust the story and the “media” is the quickest way for DemonRats to get ‘er done.

There’s little better example of “Democracy dies in darkness” than WA Post’s propagandist take on the Hunter laptop story of 2020 and the quiet creeping edits to its fact checking.

I had someone call two honorable people "liars and grifters" the other day. And he referenced a Washington Post article, by Philip Bump no less as his rationale. I just stopped right there.
We have people right here on Free Republic that even have the gumption to vilify good people, and then use that rag as their reference.

Cafe Milano ... Wow. What a bunch of faggots:
That GropieJoe had to take someone there to show off is cause enough to send him away for good. DC sluts are just boring.

The Washington Post sold out to democrats years ago... they need to remember it’s easier to throw your credibility away then to get it back.
