The Washington Post made headlines last week when it corrected and altered two stories that inaccurately identified a key source of the discredited anti-Trump Steele dossier – but the paper also added editor’s notes to at least 14 other reports.
The two stories, published in March 2017 and February 2019, were changed when the newspaper’s executive editor, Sally Buzbee, said she could no longer stand by their accuracy. The post added editor’s notes, amended headlines, removed sections identifying Sergei Millian as the source and deleted an accompanying video summarizing the articles.
"The changes came after Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the Trump-Russia probe further discredited the already-shaky dossier when Russian national Igor Danchenko, who is believed to be a sub-source for the dossier, was indicted," the report added.
According to the Post's media reporter, Paul Farhi, the indictment indicates that "Danchenko may have gotten his information about the hotel encounter not from Millian but from a Democratic Party operative with long-standing ties to Hillary Clinton," adding that an ally of Clinton's, Charles Dolan Jr. might be the unnamed operative.
The corrected reporting has also appeared in other Post stories that were fake news when they were published.
For instance, a March 29, 2017 article headlined, "Trump’s First 100 Days: An investigation," now includes a long editor’s note that is now common in the paper's archives of similar stories. "An earlier version of this story published March 29, 2017, referred to previous reporting in The Washington Post that Belarusan-American businessman Sergei Millian had been a source of information for a dossier of unverified allegations against Donald Trump. In November 2021, The Post removed that material from the original 2017 story after the account was contradicted by allegations in a federal indictment and undermined by further reporting. References to the initial report have been removed from this piece," the paper has added to online versions of the story. There are many other corrections that the Post could -- and should -- make regarding their reports on Trump. But the Post isn't alone; the Times has a lot of work to do, as well, to clean up its reputation as a primary source of fake news about the Trump administration, as do many others who repeated the lies verbatim as fed to them by the deep state aligned to take Trump down.
