The Washington Post admitted in a correction that it had “misquoted” former President Donald Trump telling Georgia’s top elections investigator “to find the fraud,” in December.
The correction ran atop an online version of the updated original story that had quoted an anonymous source about a phone call Trump made to Georgia’s top elections investigation official shortly before Christmas
“Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source,” the correction published Thursday began.
“Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there. He also told her that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now.'”
“The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump,” it added.
The newspaper appended a shorter version of the correction to the top of a story published online Friday that said an Atlanta-area prosecutor had opened a criminal investigation into attempts to overturn the state’s election results in 2020 following Trump’s phone calls to Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
The Washington Post said it did not name the state investigator because of the risk of threats to Georgia election officials.
The Wall Street Journal ran a story on Thursday that included audio of the six-minute call between Trump and the official the newspaper identified as Frances Watson.
In the Dec. 23 call, Trump claimed that he won Georgia and that “something bad happened” and suggested that she focus on the results in Fulton County, which includes most of Atlanta.

Not only did WaPo publish fake news, but this same "anonymous source" in the Georgia State govt confirmed the same lie to other publications.
And furthermore, when an investigator went back to try and retrieve the actual conversation, found that a government official had DELETED the recording. Fortunately, investgator found it in the "trash" file, so now we know the truth.

This might be what ripped the cover off this debacle
Quote:
A judge in Georgia says he might unseal absentee ballots in the state’s Fulton County so that a government watchdog can investigate voter fraud allegations.
Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero said he’s inclined to order the ballots unsealed and reviewed by experts hired by Garland Favorito, an advocate of voting integrity, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Amero, during a hearing on March 15, said that if the ballots are unsealed, there needs to be a plan in order to make sure they’re kept in secret and kept secure.
“We want to do this in such a way that dispels rumors and disinformation, and sheds light,” Amero said. “The devil’s in the details.”
He made the comment after a lawsuit filed in a Fulton County Superior Court contended that fraudulent ballots were cast during the Nov. 3, 2020, election amid other alleged irregularities as workers counted votes at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on election night.
The Georgia Secretary of State’s office, which dismissed such allegations months ago, didn’t immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment

Trump did exactly what you are doing, Signym, but he did it better and he did it in January:

People are waking up.
It's only about 5% on either side of the country that ever make all the noise.
The Democrats are going to lose all of their support now. They've grown far too reckless and careless over the last 4 years.
Lose the normies, lose the culture war.

Quote:The people woke up to every Republican in Congress voting against Covid-19 relief. Mitch McConnell says he well never again allow Democrats to pass anything. Before that, most Congressional Republicans, but not all, said Trump won by a landslide.

Trump DID win by a landslide.
Why don't you ever talk about the topic currently being discussed?
Is it because you don't actually ever have anything to say?

Quote:Signym is NOT discussing anything. Signym is claiming "Fake News". Fake News did NOT cause Trump to lose. It was Georgian vote counters who caused Trump to lose and Georgian prosecutors might charge Trump with a crime for telephoning the vote counters and requesting they change votes in Trump's favor.

It was fake mail-in ballots in our fake election that stole the election.

The Fake News just covered for the Fake Election.
