If they had provided a "disclaimer" that the story was unverified in the original report, a "retraction" would have been unnecessary.

Right.
A chronological distinction.
No, a disclaimer should be in the original article, but can be added afterwards. They are NOT interchangeable as you advocate.
So it's ok to retroactively put in a disclaimer effectively saying...
'we knew it was bullshite but decided to run it anyway so maybe we would keep readership from falling and we have to lower our ad rate. oops'.
Good idea.
a) I'm not sure this amusing comment is in my consideration or not.FRONT PAGE HEADLINER
JPP Poster named Seer helps his Uncle jack off a horse
Retraction on page 6, bottom left corner:
We left off a comma in our previous story and it should have read JPP Poster named Seer helps his Uncle Jack, off a horse
Excuses are like assholes.
CNN also made this fake news story. Liberal news likes fake news.
Just call the lying dog what it is.....a lying YELLOW JOURNALIST dog. THE TRUTH should always be paramount in any circumstance when it is printed by someone calling themselves journalists from the 4th estate. When the truth is not forthcoming we are 'left' with one thing...propaganda. The left uses the media as did the Nazi's in the 30s when they were rising to power. They use the media to manufacture news....not report it.![]()
So, what does that have to do with this fake news?Conservative maggots LOVED #pizzagate.

You've gotta be kidding me.
This is WHAT YOU DO ON THIS BOARD. You jump on every thread with some variation of "but what about when a liberal did this?"
pizzagate is one thing and i dont believe any credible organizations ran it.
Here we have the organization on whose word alone, we are basing the fact that russia hacked the election to help trump. Its the WAPO claiming they have that 19 agency report or something govt actually hasnt said anything.
What bullshit. You have Christiefan running around talking about pizza gate. But of course you only care when a non liberal does.You've gotta be kidding me.

Oh, but you're allowed to do it.It's hopeless. He's hopeless. I tried to explain to him that this is why I thread ban him but he still doesn't get it.
Oh look, here it is again they do it too, but no way will thing complain about and no way Christiefan sees her massive hypocrisy.OMG, of course it was in the mainstream news, even if only to debunk it. How did so many repubs come to believe it was true if it wasn't out there?
"Nearly half of registered Republicans believe Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign is implicated in a satanic child abuse ring operated from beneath a Washington, D.C., pizzeria, according to the results of a new poll released this week.
In spite of being debunked and refuted as a baseless conspiracy theory, 49 percent of Republicans questioned during a recent YouGov/Economist survey said there’s at least some truth to the so-called “Pizzagate” scandal said to involve Mrs. Clinton’s campaign.
Among the questions asked by pollsters was whether respondents believed that leaked emails stolen from Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager and published by WikiLeaks prior to the Nov. 8 election “contained code words for pedophilia, human trafficking and satanic ritual abuse — what some people refer to as ‘Pizzagate.’ “
More than a third of American adults said the so-called Pizzagate accusations involving Mrs. Clinton’s staff were “probably” or “definitely” true, as did nearly half of registered Republicans, according to pollsters.
Specifically, 9 percent of registered Republicans who responded to the question said the allegations were “definitely true,” coupled with 40 percent of Republicans casting the claim as “probably true.”
