《华盛顿邮报》公开承认，当初他们爆料的"川普打电话给乔治亚州州长要求更改选票"是假新闻，并正式撤掉了假新闻。
当时乔治亚州的计票出现严重问题，川普打电话给乔治亚州州长，要求调查选举的公正性。一个多小时的对话，FakeNews断章取义，还搞出来剪接的五分钟电话录音诬陷川普要求更改选票。
这项奇事已经确认。

I don't blame the media for dutifully reporting the spread of the coronavirus, the negative effects on business and the economy, and the disruption in our personal lives, including the tragic loss of friends and loved ones.
I fault the media for hyping the narrative, cheerleading draconian lockdowns, promoting pessimists masquerading as "authorities," and providing virtually no balance or context.
Is it wrong to use scare tactics and abject pessimism during a health crisis?
Yes, it is.
The mainstream media celebrated New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for his exemplary job in "following the science" to protect his state's residents with severe lockdowns.
Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was depicted as reckless, endangering his citizens by giving consideration to the economic and educational impact and imposing only temporary or partial lockdowns.
Today we know that a smaller percentage of Floridians have suffered COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths than New Yorkers.
And the gap is almost certainly even larger than we know, as Cuomo and his administration are under investigation for deliberately undercounting nursing home deaths.
Throughout the pandemic, the mainstream media has been an energetic cheerleader for severe lockdowns that damaged livelihoods and families.
Ancillary costs - including the bankruptcy of thousands of small businesses, the layoffs of millions of workers, the educational disruption of tens of millions of students and the personal hardships of countless American families - didn't change the equation.
