And yet they run with the story, irregardless of fact finding and the truth! Surprisingly I am not shocked. No matter if it is liberal or conservative is released without verification. Sad but true.
Yes, the Post's source got some words wrong. Instead of saying that the election official would be a "national hero" if she altered the election results, Trump said:
"It’s so important what you’re doing ...
It’s just, you have the most important job in the country right now ...
When the right answer comes out, you’ll be praised! I don’t know why —they made it so hard — they will be praised, people will say “great!” ...
Which is pretty much the same as saying that she would be a national hero if she altered the election results in Trump's favor. But exact words matter, so good for the WaPo for making the correction.
Anyway, the real story here is that there is yet another tape of Trump trying to pressure an election official to change the results, which is a felony in Fulton County, Georgia. I understand the DA is looking into it, so stay tuned.
So the Washington Post got a fact wrong and then corrected it when they determined it to be wrong. Sounds like something a reputable reporting resource would do.
FOX News had Trump on TV again last night where he repeated the lie about how he really won the election in a landslide. FOX News did not correct this flagrant lie....even in the wake of it motivating a riot at the Capitol.
I left lots of space below for Boilerman to show his outrage.
Republipig outrage is based on not how outrageous something is, but rather, who is involved. Republilipig treason, fraud, rape---we cool, they say. An error in a news story that was later corrected? HORRORS HORRORS HORRORS!!!!!!!!!!

Kevin's outrage is about words written by Liberal rags that turn out to be lies. Conseratives trust the truth and nothing but the truth.
Examples:
Trump collusion with Russia............lies
Trump urged riots on the Capitol............lies
Trump told Alabama to conduct an illegal search for Democrat illegal activity............lies.
I wonder...according to Boilerboob, should we trust the Lyin' Conservs (I use his childish terminology here)?
Kevin once again has nothin'.
Nothing (that's how it's actually spelled) except a complete refutation of Boiler's childish and stupid arguments. But he's free to say he "won," LOL.
This is rich. Someone who slavishly consumes the Goebbels-like Fox News; the guy who kissed the ring of the guy who gave us 30000+ lies in four years; the guy who pushed--and continues to push--the "Big Lie" that Trump won "in a landslide": this guy lectures us on truth! Rich indeed.
