Vice Retracts Articles About Donald Trump’s Animatronic Robot at Disney World https://t.co/AVKjJeqibp
— Variety (@Variety) June 28, 2017
From Variety:
“After a thorough investigation into the sourcing of two stories, ‘Here’s the Secret Backstage Trump Drama at Walt Disney World’s Hall of Presidents’ and ‘Behind the Scenes of Disney’s Donald Trump “Hall of Presidents” Installation,’ and the identification of several factual errors, we have decided to retract both pieces,” Motherboard said in an editorial note posted Wednesday in place of the two articles.
The note added, “We are conducting a full editorial review to pinpoint how this source was vetted, and how these stories were approved and published in violation of our usual editorial workflow. We fell short of our standards, and regret the error.”
Wow. The media dares to lie about Mickey Mouse? Is nothing sacred?
