NYT Forced To Issue Correction After Making Egregiously False Claim About Charlie Kirk
Opinion by Nicole Silverio • 23h

The New York Times issued a correction on Thursday after falsely accusing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk of making an antisemitic claim on his podcast.

The Times falsely accused Kirk of stating on his podcast in 2023 that Jewish communities are “pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites” that they want people to stop using against them. However, Kirk cited a tweet making that claim and critiqued it, causing the Times’ correction to be made.
 
“An earlier version of this article described incorrectly an antisemitic statement that Charlie Kirk had made on an episode of his podcast. He was quoting a statement from a post on social media and went on to critique it. It was not his own statement,” the correction reads.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

A "correction" will not stop hundreds of thousands of people from re-posting and re-tweeting it as though it were established fact.

There are 7 or 8 such claims about Charlie Kirk currently polluting social media.

Which is why the Enemedia does what it does these days - to create and consolidate preferred narratives, to foment hatred against conservatives, and to justify whatever happens to them as a result.
