WaPo Corrects the Story on Trump Georgia Phone Call
RealClearPolitics co-founder and president Tom Bevan joins RCP White House Correspondent Philip Wegmann to discuss a Washington Post correction to its story about President Trump's phone call to the chief investigator for the Georgia Secretary of State reviewing the election. The story was used by Democrats in Trump's second impeachment hearing as evidence of attempted interference in the recount process. Did the Post over-rely on a single anonymous source? Will the correction get the same play as the original story? How does this feed into the ongoing erosion of trust in the media? Here is the Post's correction: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-call-georgia-investigator/2021/03/11/c532ea2e-827a-11eb-ac37-4383f7709abe_story.html And here is the original Washington Post story about Trump's Dec 23rd phone call: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-call-georgia-investigator/2021/01/09/7a55c7fa-51cf-11eb-83e3-322644d82356_story.html Join us each week on Tuesday and Thursday, as Tom and Carl discuss the issues of the day.
