Apologies rolling in to students
Posted on 1/22/19 at 10:31 am

The outlet pulled the article on Sunday and published an explanation by editor Rich Lowry.
“Anyway, if not a hoax, this at the very least was not what it initially seemed,” Lowry wrote. “I deleted my original tweet and we also took down a strongly worded post by my colleague Nick Frankovich that relied on the incomplete video. It’s another reminder — even for an old hand like me — that it’s best not to make snap judgments and to wait for all sides of a controversy to have a chance to be heard.”
Dilbert creator Scott Adams apologized in person, with coffee.
@robbysoave
The Covington / Nathan Phillips incident is shaping up to be as misguided a rush to judgment as the Rolling Stone story. Full video footage largely exonerates the students, explicitly contradicts Phillips. LINK …

My friend @robbysoave is one of the best journalists I know... I, like many others may have reacted too quickly. Apologize for being part of a media pile on.

.@reason: “Video footage strongly contradicts Native American veteran Nathan Phillips' claim that Covington Catholic High School boys harassed him. The media got this one completely wrong,”
@MeganFoxWriter
I fell for the first edited video too. It's #FakNews and these kids are owed a big apology
@charliekirk11
I just watched the unedited video of the high school kids at the March - they did nothing wrong, and I correct an earlier tweet
The left intentionally misreported the facts (typical) to destroy these kids lives to blame it on Trump
Media made this a top story to wreck lives
@McCormickProf
I apologize to the Covington Catholic boys. What Rod Dreher says of himself goes double for me. I jumped the gun and that was stupid and unjust. It is I, not the boys, who needs to take a lesson from this.

Now sue them anyway. Taste of their own medicine

Their lawyer is collecting retractions.
I have a feeling some of the dumber people won’t send one and will get their asses sued off for libel and/or terroristic threats.

Their apologies are as fake as their news.

I'd have a lot of respect if one of them said something along the lines of "maybe we really are the cause of fake news:

No, you ARE the dupers.

Given that the school had to cancel classes today due to security concerns induced by their on-location sky screaming, apologies are just the tip of the iceberg.

Just fricking wreck Ana Navarro in a libel suit. That bitch is long overdue

Most of those people (minus Tapper) are conservative leaning voices. I'll be impressed when some far left loons concede and bend the knee.

They say they learned their lesson but frankly, I don't believe them.
It really doesn't take a great deal of intelligence in 2019 to know that if you see a severely abbreviated version of a public situation with hundreds of people present that there is a near certainty of more video existing.

This one below is the only one that actually resembles what an apology is supposed to be. As opposed to "whoops, my bad", which isn't a genuine apology to another person. It's just an admission that you made a mistake (which is absolutely not the same thing).

This is the only reason you are seeing retractions.

Agreed. And when they let it go as far as doxxing and exposing these kids to threats of death or harm, I do not give a crap about who apologizes or when. The damage has been done to these kids lives. And for what, wearing a MAGA hat and going to stand up for the unborn.
We have let this nation pass the point of no return with the progressive movement and I dare to think of what may have to happen for there to be a turn around if there is even a possibility for that to remotely happen. My generation (50 yo) is the one that said "that (progressive move to socialism) will
never happen in my lifetime." Well here it is ladies and gentlemen.

The only settlements I would accept from the Media would include the condition that they spend a minimum of 20 hours per week discussing the racist Black Israelites and Native American bullying of these young men and doing exposes on Black on White racism in America.

Apologies aren't even close to being enough. This happens time and time again. These pieces of shite should lose their jobs and their social media accounts. This instance will not stop them; it won't even slow them down.
They just took a massive hit with the Cohen thing only to turn around with this.

That's what happens when you start using your own product and these media people consume their own propaganda without question.

Meh. All these apologies are from conservatives/moderates.
When/if a Dem checkmark apology comes in then create a thread.
