Top newspaper mocked over big fix to Trump story: 'So, they made up quotes'

The Washington Post made a massive correction Monday to a January report about a phone call between then-President Donald Trump and Georgia elections investigator Frances Watson, admitting it wrongly attributed multiple quotes to Trump based on an anonymous source.

The Post initially reported Trump had told an official working in Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office to "find the fraud" in the state, which he lost narrowly to Joe Biden, and that she would be a "national hero" if she did. 

However, a newly emerged recording of the Dec. 23 call found he didn't use those words. Instead, Trump said she would be "praised" when the "right answer comes out" and encouraged her to closely examine mail-in ballots in Fulton County, the heavily blue and most populated county in the state.

The Post published a lengthy correction to its story: "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. 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." A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump."

CNN also reported on the call citing an unnamed source and waited until Monday afternoon to correct its story, after initially stating Trump said "national hero" and "find the fraud" in its opening paragraph. Many outlets picked up the story, including Vox, ABC News, and NBC News.

 

You can trust the MSM.

They never lie or make up stuff.

Perfect example above.

What about his call with Raffensbeger, which you can listen to the recording of, where he told him to "find the votes"?

Lol this article is a joke. The source they got the quotes from were slightly off but not much. The report that he made a phonecall to the Georgia official was proven correct with the release of the phone call and those "mocking" WaPo are a bunch of right wingers on Twitter.

When it comes to Trump, it is ok for the press to make stuff up.

They didn't make stuff up. Their source of the call, which was proven to take place after the recording was released got some quotes slightly wrong so they corrected the record.

I'm a little more concerned that Trump is placing phone calls to election investigators. Not to mention the one he placed to the Georgia SOS.

His phone call is more alarming, but that story is also alarming

What's alarming about the story? They were quoting a source. A source that is proven reliable because we now have a recording that the phone call took place.

Not checking sources is a huge issue going forward.

Not before going to print

The core of the story was proven accurate. Again their source got a couple quotes slightly wrong so they corrected the record. It's what you would say "is a non story." You know how I know it's a non story? Because the title and half the article are about Tweets.
