The website admitted that by later adding accurate context to its story, it “significantly diminished” its news value and led to the article being dropped.

A popular conservative website has retracted an article that falsely blamed President Joe Biden for instituting a policy against religious-themed Easter eggs at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.

On Tuesday, the Daily Caller retracted an article that began, “The Biden administration banned children from submitting Easter eggs with religious themes for its 2024 ‘Celebrating National Guard Families’ art contest.”

Although the ban against religious imagery goes back to the Carter administration and was in effect during the Trump administration, the Daily Caller ignored that pesky little detail in order to give readers a MAGA opportunity to gripe and moan about a grievance that didn’t exist.

As a result, many conservatives attempted to make hay off the story, even though it was misleading, especially since many also falsely accused Biden of purposely declaring March 31 to be Trans Day of Visibility as a way to insult Christians.
