This happened multiple times at the solemn transfer ceremony and return of the 13 servicepeople killed a week ago at the Kabul airport. The first picture is the widely distributed photo of him checking his watch. The second picture explains it. Thanks to Linda for sending it to me.
There’s a simple answer.
Yes. That’s pretty funny….but then there is this. The never-ending quest to deny what’s really going on with the president’s cognitive issues….
USA Today reporter slammed for playing ‘victim’ after false Biden report
USA Today’s fact-checkers need a fact-checker.
USA Today’s Daniel Funke, the reporter behind the newspaper’s botched report on President Biden’s watch fiasco has been hammered by critics on social media for playing “the victim.”
Funke originally reported in a “fact-check” Wednesday that accounts of President Biden checking his watch during the solemn transfer ceremony honoring the 13 U.S. service members killed at the Kabul airport terrorist attack was “partly false.” Funke insisted that it occurred “only after” the ceremony.
But the next day USA Today issued a correction admitting Biden checked his watch “multiple times” during the ceremony, as The Post accurately reported on its front page. However it changed its ruling from “partly false” to “missing context.”
Funke then took to Twitter on Friday offering an apology — of sorts.
“As many of you already know, this story has been corrected. Biden checked his watch multiple times during the ceremony. I regret the error,” Funke wrote. “Journalists and fact-checkers are human (yes, even me!) We make mistakes. When we do, we correct them and try to make it right.” MORE AT https://nypost.com/2021/09/04/usa-today-reporter-slammed-after-false-biden-report/#
