    On September 11, 2025, The Wall Street Journal issued a caution regarding its earlier report on an internal law-enforcement bulletin concerning the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. The bulletin had mentioned ammunition found near the scene with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology” engravings, but the Justice Department indicated the report might not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition as the probe was in its early stages.

    This is statement from the WSJ

      They’re walking back a claim that was so stupid that it could only be made up by a conspiracy theory idiot.

      Yet they made it. Too notch US journalism here people

      Now they’re somewhat walking it back but that doesn’t matter, that walking back part will be ignored, the damage has been done

        Make it, rile up the right, then admit later (quietly) that they were wrong. Corporate media standard.
