Doesn't matter. They got their expected political result out of their false narrative at the time. Anything afterwards is a half-measure. Don't let the people in your lives watch Fox News, people! It's literal propaganda...
Me: “Hey, family, please stop watching Fox News, it’s literal propaganda”
and a finger curled on the monkey’s hand
Them: “oh, that’s why it’s woke now. I’ll watch Newsmax, then”
This hurts in it’s a accuracy to my personal experience
Too real.
This is exactly how it works. Put your lies on the front page, then apologize in a tiny sentence buried somewhere no one sees. They know their audience has already heard what it wanted to hear, the apology won't change a thing.
Yep, 5x as many people hear the lies as the refutation or correction. What they changed it to was basically the same, anyway - instead of saying "something happened" it became "congress member says something happened".
