I'm pro-accuracy & glad WaPo issued a correction.
Yet how different is meaning of "fraud" from "dishonesty," or "national hero" from "most important job in the country"?
If article said investigator recounted it, rather than attribute to Trump with quote marks, would've been ok.

Putting words in quotation marks that are not confirmed as accurate quotations is wrong, no question. WaPo deserves criticism for that.
The corrections just don't strike me as changing the meaning of the article nearly as much as those trying to discredit it claim.

Important to note that WaPo's correction concerns a conversation between Trump and Georgia's election investigator, not the long recording of a call with Trump pressuring GA SecState Brad Raffensperger to change the state's vote, despite efforts to use former to discredit latter.
Nice to see this admission of error (mixing up 2 phone calls between Trump & GA officials).
Perhaps one could take the next step and recognize that sometimes people make an error and correct it, and that this displays integrity rather than discredits them.
