What about The Washington Post retracting parts of their Steele Dossier/Russian Collusion articles?

The Media Critic for the Post, Eric Wemple, criticised CNN and other news organizations for not correcting their stories and on Friday the Post itself changed stories it had earlier published (and received Plitzer Prize for).

"The Post’s decision to edit and repost the Millian stories is highly unusual in the news industry.
Mainstream publications often add corrections to published stories when credible new information emerges...But it’s rare for a publication to make wholesale changes after publication and to republish the edited story, especially more than four years afterward."
Questions raised by some: Why didn't the Mueller investigation reveal the lack of substantive sources?

@Adaydreambeliever It's what you get when you think the story is the best ever even though no one else does. All the top conservatives have one.
@Adaydreambeliever very witty comment on a stuck "u" on the keyboard. Why not respond to the substance of the unearned PUlitzer?

@LamontCranston Belarus-born businessman sought proximity to Trump’s world in 2016" is the article in question, and the big corrections are about source attribution.

WaPo didn't win a Pulitzer for that specific Archos. The sets warded the prize "for deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration. (The New York Times entry, submitted in this category, was moved into contention by the Board and then jointly awarded the Prize.)
