Daily Caller readers aren't ever going to read the retraction anyway. Truth doesn't matter to the right in the slightest. Journalists who pretend otherwise are basically larping.
Damage was done so they pretended to care about the truth.
It's literally information warfare.
We have very little chance. The wealthy literally control reality with media outlets, "we" have absolutely no equal footing in this class war...

Tucker Carlson's propaganda machine says what?
Fucking exactly.
It's a goddamn propaganda outlet that ONLY EXISTS to function as a propaganda outlet.
We need to do some serious thinking in this country and really hammer down how to define propaganda and separate it from legitimate press.
It's one thing if you're simply reporting the news, whether it's positive for the right or left, reality is reality, but if your entire existence is "simply" to lie and push a narrative that misinforms the population for political or monetary gain then there needs to be consequences.
We need a free press, but maybe we need to have some definitions as to what constitutes the press and the whole "tiny-ass text that says opinion" isn't cutting it. People like my father have said "Shepard Smith is too opinionated, that's why I like Sean Hannity." When Smith was the literal journalist side of Fox and Hannity is literally an OPINION show...
The website admitted that by later adding accurate context to its story, it "significantly diminished" its news value
I'm inclined to believe that "added accurate context" couldn't have been all that accurate if it "significantly diminished its news value."
You misunderstand. They are saying that by telling the whole truth, the story is no longer worth being on their site.
Conservative news outlets lying to rile up voters you say?
Somehow they've made their bunny to be even creepier than before. That's amazing.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
