This is just unreal. No disclaimer. No Editor's Note. Just a stealth edit to conveniently remove your previous hyperbole.

The problem the WAPO has along with NYT, CNN and others is that they have all put out so much propaganda and lies over the last 4 years that they cannot possibly be able to go back and try to catch it all...

This is one of the dangerous parts of all online news/media.

It can be retroactively edited and honestly most people would never be the wiser.

The main character of 1984's job was doing exactly this. Except he had to manually destroy and change physical copies by hand because even Orwell didn't conceive of the internet.

Is it just 4chan/Aspies who go back and check these pages? I know they catalog everything but how do they know when something like this is changed?

There are programs and even browser extensions that will continually ping your list of URLs and notify you of any alterations made to the site since the last catalog date.

Not one Gaslight Media outlet was ashamed about their fake news reports on Trump/Russia….why would fake Covid19 coverage be any different. The Gaslight Media lies 24/7/365, they stare the white conservative patriots down and say,


“WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?”
