DailyCaller: The Washington Post quietly rewrote a story about a Congressman using the Bible to bash poor people Friday, after a writer at the Federalist published a systematic break down of the piece that exposed major holes and mistakes in the story.
Caitlin Dewey’s initial write-up in the paper (which recently adopted the slogan “Democracy Dies In Darkness”) did not include a single quote from the Texas representative she basically accused of using the Bible to justify taking food from starving people. The story also incorrectly referred to “2 Thessalonians 3-10,” and wildly mischaracterized Rep. Jody Arrington’s statements on the verse.
While Arrington did reference 2 Thessalonians 3:10 (The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat) in a discussion of food stamps, he did not, as The WaPo article suggested, use it to argue unemployed people should not be allowed to eat.
After Sean Davis pointed out these mistakes and others in a piece for the Federalist Friday, someone at The Washington Post went through and majorly reworked the story. In fact, it appears the stealth edits are a direct answer to his piece. The story now includes the full quote from Arrington and other adjustments, although the incorrect verse reference remains.

Leftist propagandists deserve the harshest treatment imaginable. They are enemies of liberty. Confront them at every opportunity and make their lives hell. After all, that’s what the want for you.
Just as a reminder, WaPo is paid to print Russian propaganda…

Lies are born in darkness, Truth sheds light in the darkest of places.
The Washington [deaf as a] Post, is that owned by Juff Bozos?
In the old days the original story would be on the front page and the “correction” would be on page D-35. Now in the internet age, they just delete and add. Just like it never happened.
I don’t read underground newspapers.

It’s not really the Washington Post any longer, it’s now the Bezos Blog.
It’s like the bastard offspring of the old Soviet version of Pravda, and the Onion.
Maybe the post should concentrate more on John 8:23
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
But they rather adhere to Bezos 8:23
And should ye have the truth thrust upon thee, the truth shall make you edit thine ass off.
This is the Washington Post under Jeff Bezos. Remember that when you go to buy something through Amazon.com
