The Washington Post’s fact-checking department has yet again quietly updated — rather than corrected — its most-read story, which contained glaring errors about first son Hunter Biden’s laptop and an infamous dinner involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi.
Glenn Kessler, the paper’s chief fact-checker, has made six updates and authored an entirely new article about The Post’s bombshell reports in October 2020 and May 2021 that revealed Hunter Biden introduced his father to Pozharskyi at Café Milano in Georgetown months after joining the natural gas firm’s board. …
No corrections have been made to either of Kessler’s stories, despite the Washington Post both correcting and rectracting portions of two articles from 2017 and 2019 based on the discredited Christopher Steele dossier.
[The stealth edits and/or ‘quiet updates’ are more corrosive to credibility than a correction and an apology. — Ed]
