Since the MSM tells us over and over again how important accuracy is, we do wonder if we’ll see any corrections on the narrative that Roger Stone once worked for Richard M. Nixon as a “campaign aide”?
From the Nixon Foundation:
This morning’s widely-circulated characterization of Roger Stone as a Nixon campaign aide or adviser is a gross misstatement. Mr. Stone was 16 years old during the Nixon presidential campaign of 1968 and 20 years old during the reelection campaign of 1972. 1/2

Mr. Stone, during his time as a student at George Washington University, was a junior scheduler on the Nixon reelection committee. Mr. Stone was not a campaign aide or adviser. Nowhere in the Presidential Daily Diaries from 1972 to 1974 does the name "Roger Stone" appear. 2/2

Over to you, MSM!
New York Times: “Campaign aide.”
The best read today. “A self-described dirty trickster, Mr. Stone began his career as a Nixon campaign aide and has a tattoo of Nixon on his back.” @nytimes #StoneIndictment https://t.co/2gAJy7xCfk

Washington Post: “Campaign aide.”
For those who don't know Roger Stone, maybe his most formative experience was working for Richard Nixon's 1972 campaign (aka CREEP). He literally has a tattoo of RMN on his back. (He was also the youth director on Reagan's 1976 campaign against Ford.) https://t.co/Thlb196zkZ
