DC: The Washington Post issued an editor’s note Friday evening over their coverage of the Covington Catholic debacle from January. The note comes as the main student involved, Nicholas Sandmann, is suing the Post.
A video went viral that allegedly showed Sandmann and his classmates taunting a Native American man, but it turned out only to distort the actual events that unfolded. The longer video showed the students had seemingly been harassed by a group of “Black Hebrew Israelite” protesters, which had not been depicted in the original viral clip.
“Subsequent reporting, a student’s statement and additional video allow for a more complete assessment of what occurred, either contradicting or failing to confirm accounts provided in that story — including that Native American activist Nathan Phillips was prevented by one student from moving on, that his group had been taunted by the students in the lead-up to the encounter, and that the students were trying to instigate a conflict.” MORE
…hmm. I did not see “We apologize” or “We were wrong” anywhere in that statement…
Said it before. Too little,too late. Remember to dress nice for court. And remember, if you went back to actual “reporting”, you wouldn’t find yourselves in this situation. FAKE NEWS! 😱😂
Nice try, WP, but you’re a little late. You will pay.
Hey WAPO, Keep digging you’ll get there, your only half way to hell so far.
Watching Nick run the WaPo may be like watching the movie “Big”.
My name is SUE, how do you doo doo Wapopoo?
Paging Jeff Bozos, wait… he’s BUSY.

That pull quote up there is one friggin’ sentence! WaPo really got their money’s worth out of their lawyers.
And..
“…contradicting or failing to confirm accounts provided in that story.. l
What about “disproving”? Oh yeah, I forgot the WaPo lawyers. No way they let that word slip in their gigantic sentence.
So…WAPO just confessed that it lied, produced propaganda to demonize a little boy and endangered the lives of his family…So, now pay him 250 million dollars and consider yourself lucky…time to buy online from Walmart and others …no Amazon
It’s gonna be a long hard battle for Sandman. Bezos has lawyers coming out of every orifice and will appeal endlessly. Good luck kid, you’re gonna need it.
“PHILLIPS, WHO FOUGHT IN THE VIETNAM WAR”
BULLSHIT!!!
THEY’RE FUCKING SHAMELESS!!
Hopefully Sandmann gets the full amount and WP’s last front page will be Downtown Office Space for Sale or Lease.
Behind a firewall, no less!
Can’t wait to see them go down. It may not happen but I am salivating just thinking about it.
Washington post needs to be held criminally liable for their crimes of inciting violence against children.
Fines and jailtime.
WaPoo, HuffPoo, Politicopoo, HUH?
Felt it’s best for me to ignore it all.
Long long time ago, there were only 3 networks that you had to go,
if the music didn’t make you smile,,,
And I knew if I had a chance. that I could make the people dance,,,
F’ that , the internet screwed it all up.
So Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie,,,

Looking forward to The Washington Post-Mortem.
