Well, WaPo lied, but okay. ‘Misquote’.
NYP–
Former President Donald Trump said Monday that the Washington Post’s now-admitted misquoting of his December phone call with a Georgia elections investigator was a “media travesty.”
But Trump said in an emailed statement, “I thank the Washington Post for the correction.”
The then-president’s post-election call with the election investigator was widely described as evidence that he pressured state officials to dishonestly subvert President Biden’s victory and the will of voters. But the Washington Post’s correction — after the audio file was discovered in a state official’s electronic trash folder — undermined the seemingly most damning quotes that had been attributed to him.
“You will notice that establishment media errors, omissions, mistakes, and outright lies always slant one way—against me and against Republicans,” Trump said.
“Meanwhile, stories that hurt Democrats or undermine their narratives are buried, ignored, or delayed until they can do the least harm—for example, after an election is over. Look no further than the negative coverage of the vaccine that preceded the election and the overdue celebration of the vaccine once the election had concluded. A strong democracy requires a fair and honest press. This latest media travesty underscores that legacy media outlets should be regarded as political entities—not journalistic enterprises.” read more
Too little, too late. The damage was done.
Put your apology where the sun don’t shine.
To paraphrase Harry Reid, ‘We won, didn’t we?’

@Left Coast Dan: Harry Reid never realized that Mitt Romney was one of his own.
Wasn’t that kinda the excuse for the 2nd shampeachment?

Foreign owned political entities, at that.
@Vietvet – true, but he was no Barack Hussein 0bama.
This is why it is so important to overturn the NYT v Sullivan Supreme Court decision.
It gave them the license to lie.
Real President Trump is being way too nice to way too many people. It cost him his job.
