Brian, the funny thing about this is that this is pretty much the same whiny excuse you give every time. Atkinson is getting close to 100 major news screw ups about Trump.
The Washington post excuse rings pretty hollow when they literally changed the headline after the fact to “austere scholar”. That wasn’t a hasty hed screwup, that was an after publication change, which they then revised again after the outrage.
It’s not a matter of blaming the whole industry – hell I’m in that industry. This was a considered action by some small number of people who thought it was a great idea at the time and got caught. You’re diminishing your own subatomic reputation and CNN’s by not recognizing it
