Settlements =/= loss — If that’s what you’re gonna reach for

2020-12-17 05:19:15 UTC  

He has 327 retractions from other people on his wall

2020-12-17 05:19:26 UTC  

About project Veritas

2020-12-17 05:20:08 UTC  

Not retractions, he's gotten revisions. Very different.

2020-12-17 05:20:26 UTC  

For very minor edits.

2020-12-17 05:20:34 UTC  

Of course, no one looks into these bold claims of his.

2020-12-17 05:21:18 UTC  

And constantly repeat them ad nauseam.

2020-12-17 05:21:21 UTC  

That is a retraction. You make false claim, then you correct them after pressure

2020-12-17 05:21:27 UTC  

It is not a retraction.

2020-12-17 05:22:35 UTC  

A revision is a correction, a retraction is pulling a story down in its entirety.

2020-12-17 05:22:42 UTC  

Yes, it is. The big editor’s note saying that the article was incorrect about a particular piece of information about Project Veritas is a retraction. When somebody says James O’Keefe is a felon (He’s not), and his lawyers pressure the libelist to say said person is making false claims and to correct their statements, and the person does, it’s a retraction of the original claim

2020-12-17 05:22:46 UTC  

(Almost always)

2020-12-17 05:22:52 UTC  

That is a correction.

2020-12-17 05:23:44 UTC  

2.
a withdrawal of a statement, accusation, or undertaking.

2020-12-17 05:23:51 UTC  

That’s what these articles do.

2020-12-17 05:23:59 UTC  

No, we're talking about media.

2020-12-17 05:24:23 UTC  

Yes, media does engage in this about Veritas,By removing the false information from the article, and replacing it with something else, that is a withdrawal.

2020-12-17 05:25:01 UTC  

The original claim/accusation is withdrawn.

2020-12-17 05:25:25 UTC  

"While the terms correction and retraction are sometimes used interchangeably, in general, a correction alerts your audience to factual errors that do not take away from your main point, while a retraction informs your audience of factual errors that impact the main point of the statements."

2020-12-17 05:25:50 UTC  

The corrections are so substantial that they have impacted the main points of the article

2020-12-17 05:25:58 UTC  

Watch his retraction videos

2020-12-17 05:26:01 UTC  

According to who? James?

2020-12-17 05:26:25 UTC  

Let's not forget his self-own on the Washington Post. Yikes.

2020-12-17 05:28:06 UTC  

According to the articles.

2020-12-17 05:28:09 UTC  

Self-own?

2020-12-17 05:28:22 UTC  

He just shows you what statements looked before and after

2020-12-17 05:29:13 UTC  

When the right wing media says you done fucked up, you done fucked up my dude.

2020-12-17 05:29:18 UTC  

Point is, I would not trust media reporting after that many corrections

2020-12-17 05:29:34 UTC  

327 fuck ups is serious enough to not give them any traffic, forever.

2020-12-17 05:31:10 UTC  

Not exactly a right-wing article lol

2020-12-17 05:31:11 UTC  

@AOH_Assassin, you just advanced to level 9!

2020-12-17 05:31:23 UTC  

my dude.

2020-12-17 05:31:49 UTC

2020-12-17 05:34:30 UTC  

Is the author conservative?
