Politico edited on Saturday morning a story claiming Donald Trump owes millions to the Bank of China for a loan on a New York City office building, hours after Breitbart News exposed the story as false.
The story now begins with a note that it has been “updated to include comment from the Bank of China and additional reporting.” Despite the initial story being substantively incorrect and getting several details wrong, Politico did not issue a formal correction, as standard journalistic good practice would indicate they should. What’s more, the story continues to be wrong in several places.
The original story’s headline was “Trump owes tens of millions to Bank of China.” Now it is “Trump owed tens of millions to Bank of China.” But that claim is still wrong. Trump never owed tens of millions to Bank of China, as Breitbart News reported Friday. The subhead is” The president’s financial dealings with the state-owned bank complicate his attacks on Biden,” another false claim that remains in the story.

ReplyDeleteAll the Democrats wants to give away trillions of dollars but refusal / cut tax payer pensions over $75000. All this money is going to raise our taxes and allow China to buy up more of our debt, which leads to China owning the US. Why is this Democrat giveaway reported as China that much closer to the US owned by China.
ReplyDelete10:42 maybe we could tax the billionaires that have made over 200 billion during a pandemic. But no, we have to defend them right? God forbid they can't get that 10th yacht.
