In yet another example of a media outlet reporting a “bombshell” that damaged President Donald Trump only to retract its central claim, The Wall Street Journal had to issue a major correction on a story about North Korea developing nuclear weapons after the leaders of the two countries met.
On Thursday, the paper claimed that Defense Intelligence Agency analysts believed the isolated nation had developed up to 12 nukes since Trump met with the nation’s dictator, Kim Jong-Un, in June 2018. As The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross pointed out, various news outlets — including The New York Post, The Hill, and Business Insider — picked up the WSJ’s claims.
