Oooh shouldn’t have rushed this one to print, huh dipshits

You gonna issue a retraction and apology or nah

Oh you're full of shit eh

Report for Election Lies

Please fuck off

Surely the WSJ has a telephone it could have used to call to check.

If we’re gonna nitpick Flanagan for whether or not she is Phi Beta Kappa (which, apparently she IS), this headline is a lie. Tafoya left sideline reporting years ago. Let’s not pretend that she risked it all to run for the Senate on a whim. She’s been methodically working towards this for years.

don't care, voting for her anyway.

So she graduated phi beta kappa, but didn’t pay to be recognized as such? Seems like a legit accomplishment to tout.

Amazing that this is still up

Life lesson--when a bunch of GOP apparats come to you with oppo research that they wish to launder through you, you have to actually do your own research/reporting. Otherwise you are the one who ends up looking like a fool.

The president is a rapist that lies 50 times a day, so who gives a fuck?

Do the records do that? They have achieved sentience?

You're a f'n newspaper with supposed journalists. And you can't pick up a f'n phone and make some calls to find out what is true? Instead, you launder Republican BS as a legitimate story? Are you f'n serious? I'd say do better, but I feel this is probably the WSJ can do. F'n pathetic.

why do you guys lie one way about democrats but then you lie a completely different way about republicans? its odd. why do you do that? can someone respond to me pretending its not on purpose and you're just stupid or something? I love it when i get told 'we're just very very stupid'

Inflate my ass and eat it whole.

Even if this weren't inaccurate and misleading, this would be embarrassing in the current political environment. But it is inaccurate and misleading to boot.

Lock me up, Rupert

Oh fuck off.

Where’s your retraction?

The Musk/Trump Ukraine piece was probably a leak from the WH or Musk or both. This is coverage on the same level as the NY Post.

No the WSJ is a tabloid rag.

And then what happened

You still keeping this up? Y’all must love the smell of shite on your faces. 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐭. 𝐏𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐲 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦 𝐬𝐡𝐞 “𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐢 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚” 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐭𝐚, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫.

And she wasn't overstating anything! WSJ just didn't actually check!

MSNBC has uncovered evidence the Tafoya once told an admissions officer that we President of the Yearbook Club in HS, but we could only verify she participated in the club.

It may be possible that she simply made the claim based on her final gpa? More of an inaccuracy than a lie. Like she was eligible and perhaps remembers that criterion but not the full process?

Fuck off, seriously fuck off. Her opponent planned to leave the state because she was embarrassed of it. She’s only in the race b/c football loving idiots know pretty lady’s name.

do they now

So where is the retraction? An update on comments is just stupid

any update, shitheads? bsky.app/profile/star...

And Liz Warren is Pocahontas 😂

OOOOO @wsj.com What a bombshell bit of reporting. Did you do the same with Musk/Trump and Starshield. All of your bombshell reporting should be viewed with skepticism. It seems you have an agenda and it is not accuracy or democracy.

I would term this a "correction" or a "retraction" rather than an "update", WSJ. That's the norm when you're caught being dead wrong.

Get fucked

"Retraction"? "Correction?" Questions are being raised about your sht hackery. I'm not able to say whether these are true or not, but it's out there.

Update:

It's like the Wall Street Journal manufactured an October surprise

Go suck eggs you pandering wingnut rag.

Maybe, as a newspaper, you should do reporting before publishing absolute trash.

This is stupid

You idiots suck

Pathetic. Issue a correction. The reporter and editors should also be reprimanded, but she is a Democrat so that won't happen.

Update: The Wall Street Journal printed a lie about a candidate for US Senate

SUCK A DICK YOU FUCKING LOSERS

gfy

Worst Stinkin' Journalism.

Why isn’t this a retraction? PBK confirmed her membership.

Love that you're hours late to your own update bsky.app/profile/star...

Why are you not revoking the story and issuing an apology? Zero journalistic integrity you fucking hacks

You guys are clowns. How hard would have been to contact the organization before the first article?

Read the original headline. Read it again. Then ponder your place in the annals of journalism.

lol

So the reporting on this wasn’t done correctly

The WSJ do *journalism*?! Of course they would do no such thing! 😝

I don't know what would inspire you to make such a comment, given that 1) Phi Beta Kappa says Flanagan is a member 2) The Wall Street Journal says the PBK membership fee at U of Minn is $99. Whatever your motivations, you are wrong and should delete it.

They did when I was inducted 25 years ago. I remember that being a challenge for me.

I guess that will have to do for a retraction and apology, huh?

@thepressbox.bsky.social how does this happen? How does the Murdochs' supposedly "down the middle" political reporting part of the WSJ a) not verify w the actual organization first and b) think whether a candidate graduated Phi Beta Kappa is worthwhile potential "scandal" less than two weeks out?

Oh, look! The corrupt Wall Street Journal is lying again. I swear, they're just Fox News in a prettier package

Bwahahahaha. You fucking clowns. You break a big story about massive corruption in the Administration and then your hack editors and fascist bosses demand some equal time, you cook up the stupidest, most irrelevant story possible and manage to fuck it up by not even making a cursory check.

So you are bad at your jobs and never attempted to confirm anything and should be sued

Eat shit, fascist liars.

WSJ should be embarrassed and/or investigated for this sloppy attempt at a hit piece.

BREAKING: Politician neglects to tie own shoelaces. UPDATE: On closer inspection, they are loafers.

We get it: you need a counterwieght to all the GOP lying and corruption. If you insist on this course, no matter how trivial the supposed dem transgression, just make sure it's true before publishing.

"Update: we printed something that was not true without checking on it first.”

damn seems like if yall actually did your jobs you wouldn’t end up looking so fucking stupid

APOLOGIZE

I’m guessing the guy that wrote this sloppy piece was never phi beta kappa

I'm sorry you're stupid. There, I apologized just like you dipshits.

This guy officers. Check his hard drive

Really showed your malice on this one, it's so actual.

Update: we printed bullshit lies with zero verification because we're dumb hacks

This warrants an apology, bud.

No. They don’t.

what if you guys looked into stuff like that before you published hit pieces

Heyo... I gotta tip that your reporting is wrong and you still haven't corrected this post. Seems like you are doing this on purpose to help swing voters??

Thanks for the head’s up. I now have no choice but to vote for the other lady who believes the federal government gleefully murdering her own constituents is no problem at all.

What trash

Stop printing lies!

Update: you can delete this article and fire whoever wrote it now. Both Phi Beta Kappa and Peggy Flanagan have proven she is a member and has been since 2002 today.

Who the fuck cares?

No records do not. Hack Journalism. You ok with employing a rightwing hack that calls himself a journalist? Guess journalistic standards arent a thing with you guys.

The anount of garbage being spewed in an attempt to make Tafoya look like a reasonable candidate is unbelievable

With all due respect, you people at the WSJ are trash. Just complete pieces of shit. You could have done what’s known as “journalism” and made a single phone call to Phi Beta Kappa to get an answer, but instead you chose to publish a smear.

Seriously, this is an issue? Ridiculous.

Y'all know how desperate this looks, right?

Oh damn you didn’t delete this yet, even after your reporting got proven wrong

In a real job this hackery would get you fired.

Don't print lies in the newspaper

Will you be retracting this now that it has been reported elsewhere that your facts are incorrect? I hope so. This is what happens when you rush to publish and fail to do your due diligence. We expected better from you, frankly.

Will the Journal issue a retraction? It is clear that this article was published without the proper due diligence. bsky.app/profile/star...

In this case, no, it turns out. bsky.app/profile/star...

i don't care and wish she lied even harder
