“#Washington Post draws heat for changing a story on immigration<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The Washington Post is drawing heat yet again \u2014 this time for changes it made to a story about immigration along the southern border. <\/p>\n

A post that ran on March 25 initially carried a headline that read: \u201cThere\u2019s no migrant \u2018surge\u2019 at the U.S. southern border. Here\u2019s the data.\u201d<\/p>\n

The revised headline reads: \u201cThe migrant \u2018surge\u2019 at the US southern border is actually a predictable pattern.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were also changes in the accompanying text. The original version, for example, read: \u201cwhat we\u2019re seeing in other words isn\u2019t a surge or crisis, but a predictable seasonal shift.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new version doesn\u2019t weigh on whether it is a surge or not but says simply: \u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing right now is a predictable seasonal shift.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second embarrassing flub for the Beltway paper owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos amid criticisms of the media<\/a> world in general<\/a> for being softer on Biden than it had been on Trump. <\/p>\n

On March 15, the Washington Post added a lengthy correction to a bombshell report from early January that had claimed the then-President Trump in a phone call to Georgia\u2019s top elections investigator told them to \u201cfind the fraud\u201d and that they would be \u201ca national hero\u201d if they did so.<\/p>\n

But an actual recording of the call, showed the original source had misquoted the president\u2019s words from that call. <\/p>\n

\u201cTwo months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump\u2019s December phone call with the state\u2019s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump\u2019s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source,\u201d\u00a0the paper said<\/a>\u00a0in a 129-word correction.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump did not tell the investigator to \u2018find the fraud\u2019 or say she would be \u2018a national hero\u2019 if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find \u2018dishonesty\u2019 there. He also told her that she had \u2018the most important job in the country right now.’\u201d<\/p>\n

That report was particularly upsetting to Trump supporters since the erroneous words attributed to Trump were cited in the articles of impeachment.<\/p>\n

While the latest flub was not deemed quite as egregious, it still drew flak on Twitter for seemingly downplaying an issue that has been giving the Joe Biden administration headaches.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
