    Washington times retraction

    The Washington Times retracted and apologized on Monday for an op-ed column that made erroneous statements about the killing of Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee staff member who has been the subject of a right-wing conspiracy theory.

    The conservative newspaper withdrew the column, published in March, that asserted that Rich and his brother Aaron downloaded a cache of DNC emails and sold it to the website WikiLeaks.

    “The Washington Times now does not have any basis to believe any part of that statement to be true, and the Washington Times retracts it in its entirety,” the paper said in a published statement. It added, “The Washington Times apologizes to Mr. Rich and his family.”
    so can we all just admit the whole thing is a garbage conspiracy

    I could believe that. The WT CEO must have found and read his suicide note and took it to heart and promptly wrote the retraction.WINK! WINK!

    Have to wonder why they did a retraction---normally they just keep going with more fake news

    I do so agree Dave I've been seeing those kind of reports out of your favorite Rags for months now heck no years.

    It's neat for me to come back and read my posts sometimes, then try and remember what the hell I meant.

    We still do not know who or why the man was shot down in the middle of a Washington street without anything taken including his $800 gold chain.

    That's part of Obamas employment statistics. The robber/murder is working full time. In the process he keeps the police/pawnshops and emergency services employed.
