Susan Glasser Announces New Podcast, ‘Triggering Trump’; No Correction, Though

Meme

I wrote about the New Yorker's Susan Glasser earlier this week. She was promoting a piece she'd written on Donald Trump's "too-crazy moment" at the debate when he said that Kamala Harris wants to "do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison." The only problem with that too-crazy statement is that it was 100 percent true … Harris had agreed to the position on an ACLU questionnaire during her 2020 run for president. As we reported, TIME Magazine put out a correction:

For its part, the New York Times put out a fact-check concluding that Trump's perfectly true statement "needed context." The context is that she said it, exactly.

The Free Beacon reached out to Glasser and the New Yorker to see if a correction was forthcoming: When presented with the CNN story showing that Glasser was wrong, she responded “I still have no idea what the heck the former president was talking about.”

CNN had even done a segment on Harris' approval of taxpayer-funded sex changes for incarcerated illegals.

Mary Katherine Ham called it a Chappaquiddick problem … "which is that it sounds so crazy and awful that people assume it can't be true and you seem kinda crazy and gauche for bringing it up unless you do it well."

It does sound too crazy to be true … but it's 100 percent true. To their credit, CNN reported on it, but as I said above, the New Yorker feels no need for a correction.

Glasser is now pimping her podcast, featuring special guest George Conway:

Because she doesn't have to correct it. She can just ignore it and hope everyone forgets about it and listens to her podcast. There are never any repercussions for spreading misinformation if you're with the mainstream media. It must be nice.

How tough is it to append a correction to your piece? TIME managed it.

As I reported earlier, CNN apparently has its own comedy quiz show now, "Have I Got News For You." You can click over there to see a video of comedians reacting to "former President Donald Trump's use of a fake name of a Taliban leader during the ABC News presidential debate." Except Abdul wasn't a fake name. The guy's name is Abdul — Trump didn't just pick it out of the ether. As a video showed, MSNBC also spread the lie that "Abdul" didn't exist. Conspiracy theorist Joy Reid led the charge. Will she issue a correction on air? She did come right out and say that Abdul Ghani Baradar doesn't exist.

Writing for Twitchy, I think it would be nice sometime for us to just get something 100 percent wrong and just ignore it. I've gotten stories wrong before, and it's embarrassing, but I corrected them and added an editor's note. It wasn't that hard.

But Twitchy is fake news and, as Rep. Ted Lieu said, you should watch MSNBC to get real news.
