WaPo Follows New York Times’ Lead, Writes Similar Thinly Sourced Article About Mueller Report

Conveniently, hours after The New York Times wrote a thinly sourced article claiming members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team told “associates” that Attorney General William Barr didn’t accurately summarize Mueller’s findings, The Washington Post had a similar article, also using anonymous sources.

The Times’ lede paragraph was demolished by Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel, who pointed out that the story was based on the words of anonymous “government officials” and “others” who were “familiar” with what the Mueller “investigators” told their “associates.”
