you’re being lied to, right?
Yes, but it is intentionally false!
Not the same thing at all, is it?
Sure, the AP “corrected’ it. But it had already done the damage it was intended to do. For the AP, it was “mission accomplished.”
Just remember this next time. And KNOW that the AP will strategically lie to you! So next time (and there WILL be a next time) the MSM reports that a Republican said something outrageous, your first response should be to think, “I wonder if he really said that and what the context was.”
