Driving the news: In wake of the key source’s arrest and further reporting on the situation, The Washington Post on Friday corrected and removed large portions of two articles.
To The Post’s credit, its media critic, Erik Wemple, has written at length about the mistakes made by The Post and other media outlets in their coverage of the dossier…
Other outlets that gave the document outsized coverage have so far been less forthcoming.
CNN and MSNBC did not respond to requests for comment about whether they planned to revisit or correct any of their coverage around the dossier.
Mother Jones Washington bureau chief David Corn began reporting about the dossier prior to the 2016 before the election. Asked by Wemple whether he planned to correct the record, Corn said,” My priority has been to deal with the much larger topic of Russia’s undisputed attack and Trump’s undisputed collaboration with Moscow’s cover-up.”
