The GOP adds completely new clauses to a one-sentence e-mail message and WaPo comes ups with this?

The burden of proof lies with the accuser. Despite Pfeiffer’s claim of political skullduggery, we see little evidence that much was at play here besides imprecise wordsmithing or editing errors by journalists.


What burden of proof? It's already been proven. And how is falsifying a quotation an "editing error"? If this is their actual editorial policy it discredits WaPo as an accurate source of anything.
