WashP changes...without a correction: Brazile didn't claim she had the power to replace HRC w/ Biden

[riversedge]

Geeze. This is a huge error if true.

Without including a correction note, the Washintgon Post has changed today's Brazile story in an important way. Look.

(See this thread for the changes to the article. Brazile didn't claim she had the power to replace HRC with Biden.)

The lede strongly implies that Brazile claims she had the power to remove and replace on her own, but this change is a substantial walkback.

Quotes in the piece suggest that Brazile does say she had the power to remove Clinton/Kaine on her own. This correction doesn't change that.

But the piece's initial suggestion that Brazile says she could have swapped Biden/Booker for Clinton/Kaine by fiat seems to have been wrong.

1. damage done

I just am having a hard time believing there is no agenda to push Hillary out of the picture by maybe even our own and having Donna Brazile do the dirty work. Just my feeling.

2. Hillary is already out of the picture.

This is just Donna showing us who she is. Hope she never works again.

7. I am really shocked by the book and what she wrote so far.

Appalled . Was not on my radar at all.

3. The headline still reads: "Donna Brazile: I considered replacing Clinton with Biden

as 2016 Democratic Nominee", and the quotes are still there. Where is the "important change"?

[kcr]

4. I don't see any change.

What am I missing?

5. Sems to be a distinction without a distinction. I am fine with no correction. She still threatening

everyone.

Sounds like a peach.

6. WPO screwed up, not Brazile.
