There are about 1,800 things wrong with the AP article on the relationship between those who donated to the Clinton Foundation and those who met with Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state. In particular, there’s the way the AP purposely restricted the number of meetings it was considering until it found a subset of data in which the results matched the narrative. It’s a classic case of forcing the data to meet the conclusion.
But when it comes to the AP’s original tweet, it’s just one big glaring error.
That’s not a debatable proposition. It’s simply wrong. And requesting that the AP delete or modify the tweet is perfectly reasonable.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is calling on The Associated Press to modify or delete a tweet about an investigative story on the Clinton Foundation.
And naturally the Associated Press is concerned enough about accuracy that they decided to let their completely wrong tweet go unchanged. The AP knows it’s wrong. But they’re not going to change it.
And if that’s not amazing enough, here's something else to consider:
Aides to the Democratic nominee say that the AP has not given them the actual list of the 85 foundation donors who the outlet says got access to Clinton while she was at State, making it hard for them to rebut charges that she engaged in quid-pro-quos. But on Wednesday, they began filling in the holes.
Get that? The AP defined the number of reports they would consider, then declared that over half those on the remaining list are donors to the Clinton Foundation, but won’t tell anyone who is on the list.
