Washington Post issues 'correction' on 2020 Tom Cotton story claiming COVID lab-leak theory was 'debunked'
Fox News
The Washington Post issued a correction 15 months after alleging Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., was peddling a “debunked” “conspiracy theory” about the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.
Over the weekend, however, the Post revised the February 2020 report which had the headline, "Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked." "Earlier versions of this story and its headline inaccurately characterized comments by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) regarding the origins of the coronavirus," the correction read at the top of the report. "The term 'debunked' and The Post’s use of ‘conspiracy theory’ have been removed because, then as now, there was no determination about the origins of the virus."More Related News
