The surprising thing is reporters reacted the same way and rushed their misleading or false stories—stories that misrepresented what Clarence Thomas wrote and ignored how the drugs were developed—to print without checking, writes TPCarney.
By Friday morning, neither NBC News nor Axios had corrected their error, and the authors’ and outlets’ false or misleading tweets remained on display. The whole incident is a perfect example of how much of the liberal media live in a liberal echo chamber and are willing to abandon standards and believe anything that makes pro-lifers look bad.
What Thomas said was some pro-lifers"object on religious grounds to all available COVID–19 vaccines because they were developed using cell lines derived from aborted children.” Thomas didn’t claim that the cells of aborted children are in the vaccines, but NBC News, Politico, and Axios all wrote as if he did. They were dead wrong on an easily checkable fact.
