Mollie Hemingway RIPs 'breathtakingly corrupt' media after WaPo's major correction to Trump story

A couple months ago, the Washington Post published a story that claimed then-President Trump told a Georgia election investigator to “find the fraud” (among other alleged quotes). The problem? Audio of the conversation now confirms Trump never said those things, but the story spread all through the media after it was originally published. The Washington Post has now published a correction to the story:

Actually "wow'd" at this correction. incrediblehttps://t.co/FXCF9mttzg pic.twitter.com/5yrGhk5ZdO

The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway is eulogizing the mainstream media and whatever credibility they might have had until recent years:

Our media are so, so, so breathtakingly corrupt. They *always* mischaracterized this call — in a corrupt and fraudulent way. But to actually make up quotes in service of that? We are so screwed. By our disgustingly corrupt and unaccountable media. https://t.co/RaRVncJCX3

And remember when the New York Post was suspended from Twitter over a factual story about Hunter Biden, and absolutely nothing will happen to the WaPo over this latest example of journalistic malpractice:

Good grief! MSM straight up making stuff up to push the Orange Man Bad narrative! They are #FakeNews https://t.co/3NgYiARpvD
