Another Saturday of fake news from the Washington Post. Nikki Haley called out Jeff Stein and the Washington Post for yet again smearing the UN Ambassador with a false story. The Washington Post claimed Nikki Haley had said only 250,000 Americans are in “extreme poverty.” That tweet has since been deleted. This is what Haley tweeted calling out the Washington Post:
Unfortunate when a reporter doesn’t follow through and I have to do this:@JStein_WaPo I never said this. My team has asked you to retract this and take down your tweets. I am now respectfully asking that you follow through with what you told my team you would do. Thank you.

After hours of leaving the tweet up to get likes and retweets, Stein finally deleted it. The “correction” tweet got a fraction of the retweets and likes the original did.
Yet again, it’s mission accomplished for the corrupt, fake news media.
I’ve deleted earlier tweets indicating that Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., had said only 250,000 Americans are in “extreme poverty.” The U.S. Permanent Mission to the United Nations and International Organizations in Geneva had said this.

Jeff Stein is yet another lazy “journalist” who doesn’t verify things before putting them out as “news.” Stein is also a Vox reject. That should tell you all you need to know about the “quality” of journalist the Washington Post hires.
