While unbelievable, this is the usual M.O., make false statements, push the narrative, retract or apologize later when nobody sees it. Drive by media.

If you go anywhere on Reddit you will find that this hoax lie is widely accepted as fact. They do this shit on purpose.

She's just trying to buy some credibility for all the other garbage she's spewing.

It's like the deadbeat dad who takes his kid to Chuck E Cheese and thinks that makes everything all good.

The Enemy of the People is apologizing because a critical mass of the public has become aware of the Fake News and their machinations. The apology is an attempt to placate a small percentage of the public into forgetting and/or forgiving the truth.

Its always a day late and a dollar short these people need to be shamed so they start fact checking what goes out. BS like this would probably get you flunked out of journalism school.

Just saw a meme on Facebook by a loser democrat today about trump calling it a hoax. All they care about is false narratives. Straight up no morals what so ever.

I pray for this writer that she is taking a look at how she works in general and tries to do better with more correct reporting.

The Washington Post may be trying to inch toward the right side of this mess:

No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there.

Damage already done. I just saw it again on Twatter as a response to a Trump tweet. Some jackhole alleging Trump called it a hoax.

Why is someone at the ComPost repeating something the ComPost's own fact checker has rated false?

If I were her editor, she would have been fired, regardless of any apology.

And I would warn everyone else: if you publicly contradict our own fact checkers, you will meet the same fate as soon as I find out about it.

Lol too little too late. Half the people I know are convinced Trump was calling the virus a hoax and will forever be convinced because they believed the past 50 things that were said then retracted later.
