The website admitted that by later adding accurate context to its story, it āsignificantly diminishedā its news value and led to the article being dropped.
A popular conservative website hasĀ retracted an article that falsely blamed President Joe BidenĀ for instituting a policy againstĀ religious-themed Easter eggs at the annualĀ White House Easter Egg Roll.
On Tuesday, theĀ Daily CallerĀ retracted an article that began, āThe Biden administration banned children from submitting Easter eggs with religious themes for its 2024 āCelebrating National Guard Familiesā art contest.ā
AlthoughĀ the ban against religious imagery goes back to the Carter administrationĀ and was in effect during the Trump administration, the Daily Caller ignored that pesky little detail in order to give readersĀ a MAGA opportunity to gripe and moanĀ about a grievance that didnāt exist.
As a result, many conservativesĀ attempted to make hay off the story,Ā 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.
Daily Caller readers arenāt ever going to read the retraction anyway. Truth doesnāt matter to the right in the slightest. Journalists who pretend otherwise are basically larping.
Damage was done so they pretended to care about the truth.
Tucker Carlsonās propaganda machine says what?
The website admitted that by later adding accurate context to its story, it āsignificantly diminishedā its news value
Iām inclined to believe that āadded accurate contextā couldnāt have been all that accurate if it āsignificantly diminished its news value.ā
You misunderstand. They are saying that by telling the whole truth, the story is no longer worth being on their site.
Conservative news outlets lying to rile up voters you say?
Somehow theyāve made their bunny to be even creepier than before. Thatās amazing.
