Washington Post Forced To Correct Its Lie

But no admission they lied to the American people:



Washington Post walks back claim that Tom Cotton lied about Boston Bomber's COVID stimulus check

The Washington Post has rescinded one of its “Pinocchio" ratings from a claim by Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, who said that the Boston Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, received a stimulus check for COVID-19.

The publication uses the rating to indicate that the subject of the article, who in this instance would be Cotton, is lying about their claims.

The Post first reported that the claim was among many “hyped up claims about who’s getting stimulus checks,” suggesting that murderers and illegal immigrants were not, as Republicans were claiming, benefiting from policies intended to support impoverished American citizens.

The Post reported: “These quotes are an example of this process in action, with Cotton tweeting a talking point just hours after the coronavirus stimulus bill was approved. Cotton isn’t shy about his intentions either. On March 8, he tweeted that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston bomber, would also get benefits and declared, ‘Get ready for campaign ads.’”

“But for all the hype, there’s less to these claims than one might imagine — particularly because the previous stimulus bills passed last year under GOP control also did not bar payments to prisoners and the small subset of undocumented immigrants referenced by Barrasso,” it continued.

Prison inmates get stimulus checks? Interesting.

Well, I guess inmates can spend money in the canteen, and this relieves their friends and relations of providing it.

Ultimately who gives a shit if we gave him a once a year pay out of what? How much they cost us in prison for a week? Probably half a week or less. Is THIS what we are worried about?

This. I mean it's lame that we house them in the first place but vettebitch's poutrage is palpable.

No, it's not. What KlanGuide is concerned with is grasping at any reed whatsoever that will provide an excuse for discrediting the mainstream media. That's all you're seeing here.

I think the question here is where were the editors
or were they lulled asleep by what they wanted to be
true and did they let partisanship and party preference
perform as political contribution and support? Who is
fact checking the fact checkers for factual accuracy?

Does this then make claims, excerpts and links
from this newspaper now suspect, requiring
confirmation from multiple other sources?

Since the WaPo, like most "liberal" papers, is usually anything but, I highly doubt that.

I guess that is a halfway decent concern if your primary goal is just discrediting the MSM which is really, really stupid at this point. Almost every thing that turns out to be false about them, including Fox once you get away from "opinion shows" which aren't always or even ever clearly labeled like Tucker Carlson. Back when they had him Glenn Beck (who at least had the saving grace of doing a segment on black history in the states. Sure he was trying to prove conservatives are the good guys by pointing out that Republicans housed the first black Congressman before black people could vote. He was doing a poor job of proving his point but the history lesson wasn't unwelcom. Still even Fox is less lies and more focused exactly where ever they want it but that is true to varying degrees of everybody.

If I ran a channel the only way a celebrity got beyond the crawl would be if they did something that actually changed lives. Every spare moment would be explaining the nuance of legislature, prior to last year teaching about Islam and the Middle East. Today it would be China, Russia and North Korea. Stuff where people need to know more than what they heard around the kitchen table or watching '24'.

That doesn't make them liars however. Just whatever is going on in the MCU is far more entertaining than understanding Brexit beyond "crazy looking man crazy".

*chuckle*


It provides me endless mirth to be lectured about how I want to discredit the MSM
(they do a good enough job of that all on their own, thank you very much kids)
from people who end up with spittle on their chin when referring to Fox News...

Certainly, nobody who doesn't pay taxes, or those without a conscience or a definable morality.

What about the incarcerated in states where they are allowed to vote?
What about released felons who have their voting rights restored?

The horrors Democrats impose in their states should not be subsidized or entertained by productive sane red states. Here's my solution to crime. A third felony conviction should initiate an automatic death penalty with no appeal beyond the state Supreme Court. No felon should ever be allowed to vote, sign contracts, or leave the borders of the state in which they were born. They should be allowed to leave the country, however, never to return.

That's not very Christian or American of you. Why the state they were born in and not the state they committed the crime in? How about the wrongly convicted? What is considered a "productive red state" and how do you determine the parameters of what's a "productive state?"

Your insanity brings more questions than answers.

They should be tried and confined for the first felony in the states they were convicted in, but when released returned to the state of their birth where any other felonious activity will be addressed there, along with their demise. This justice system isn't perfect, none are, but my plan will result in a whole lot less crime being adjudicated, so less chance of mistake.

All red states are better off than blue states where Democrats have all but destroyed the quality of life. Look around, millions of blue staters are voting with their feet.

PS: The insanity is the present Democrat treatment of dangerous criminals.

what if their birth state has different parameters for parole/probation than the state they committed the crime in? did you think about these posts before posting? what if they were born in montana, moved to arizona but committed felonies along the way in wyoming, idaho and utah? what if they were adopted?

Lets start with the tax payer part. Lets go look at that for a moment. I can't speak for everybody cus I don't have kids or any of that wacky stuff. I got like $700 bucks. Assuming you could get someone to purge the files of the incarcerated at the federal minimum wage it cost you at least a third of that if they found one a week out of the millions of US citizens. We could extrapolate farther but just like means testing to make sure that Lebron and Downy Jr don't buy an extra round of drinks the money spent finding each one far exceeds the costs of just letting them have the money. The prisoners are most likely to just spend it at the commisary in our cruel system that requires them to buy their own shoes, paper, pens and stamps. Some of it probably goes to gaurds to smuggle in drugs and cell phones but still the money would be spent just as the government wanted. Of course as you prove with your later posts you aren't about justice or even common sense. Just vengeance and the kind of government control that terrifies libs.

What about the incarcerated in states where they are allowed to vote?

They should be allowed to vote in all 50. I failed to read the part of the Constituion that states or even implies that being in jail or commiting felonies revokes your right to vote. Or bear arms. Or anything else laid out in the Constitution. Funny just how fast the Constitution becomes just another piece of paper for conservatives no? At least I admit that the dead shouldn't get a say in what goes on. We can look to them for guidance, hell we can look to Emperor Palpatine but you forfiet your say the moment your pulse stops.

Ditto above but good questions, to bad the answer sucked.

No felon should ever be allowed to vote, sign contracts, or leave the borders of the state in which they were born. They should be allowed to leave the country, however, never to return.

For starters lets stop with this productive red states bullshit. Without Texas you have absolutely fuck all in terms of productioin, especially in any given state. We've shown time and time again that blue states pay more in taxes than we pull out in services and red states pull more in funding than they pay in. Of course this is how a nation and a family are supposed to work. Mommy and Daddy do most of the work while Jr and Princess eat all the cookies. But make no mistake that is the relationship. You're not subsidizing shit.

As for felonies that's an absolute bullshit metric. Despite the mistakes made in the past, looking at us California, three felonies doesn't make you a dangerous person. Hell it barely makes you a truly bad person. I'm sure, if you touched my PS5 I'd execute you before the cops arrived but that's a felony. Stealing a car, possession with intent to distribute (which unless they catch on a street forner is difficult to prove), hell bouncing a check over a certain amount (Which varies by state) can be a felony. Not that people write a lot of checks these days.

I don't care if you somehow steal, get caught and convicted of stealing a car once a week putting you down is not an appropriate response. I'm pro drug to begin with for the most part but regardless as long as you aren't peddling to kids. And I mean kids, if TEEN is involved you stopped qualifying as a kid for this purpose you knew what you were getting into when bought the drugs. If you want test their product, fine. Put em in jail for stretch? I'm morally against that BUT the rules are what the rules are as present. Put executing them?

While I completely believe that the J6 squad not only should do time and more than any of them have been convicted of so far. They are you know, terrorists. But by your logic Biden could probably execute many of them right out the gate. I don't think that's remotely the proper thing to do. Ten years, five with good behavior. Not executing them and not just to prevent them from being martyrs.

And this whole concept of no appeals beyond the state supreme is pretty bad. Do you have any clue how easy it would be, especially for police and the FBI to figure out ways to silence people? HAve you ever looked into the stats of how many innocent people we put down every year? The concept of you have to crack a few eggs is great until you are a loved one is the egg.

So you keep saying. But of the ten states that had net losses in population last year, four were red states: West Virginia, Alaska, Louisiana and Mississippi. Of the top ten gainers, four were blue: Colorado, Washington, Nevada and newly-blue Arizona. The six red states included Texas and North Carolina, both of which have been steadily growing more competitive for several years now - guess why? https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/fastest-growing-states
