Story of Santa with dying child can't be verified

So what?It was not a news story it was a personal interest story ,there is a difference.


The WP does a great job with this!

But some of this isn't a mistake. It's just plain bias.

So what? They ran with a lie and plastered it all over the place before verifying. They have put the spotlight on the credibility of news, so they need to meet the standard of making sure they are getting things right.

You are the same guy who was claiming to know that the Trump/Carrier deal was "a bad deal" before details were even released, so its not surprising that you would make excuses for this shoddy type of reporting we are seeing.

They admitted guilt and apologized after first denying the charges.

You really should open your eyes.

Nice try. You had no details, you claimed to know something. It was a 50/50 guess that you made, pretty decent odds of getting it right. I on the other hand said it was too early to know since there were no details available so I refrained from saying if it was definitely good or bad, unlike you.

Proving my point again, you are happy with a wild guess and hoping its right, rather than finding out the details to know its right. Nice try, I have been wrong about many things in my life, but the two you reference are certainly not on that list.
