138. Still not buying it

This Washington Post article says nothing about where and when Bernie supposedly said Ossoff "is not a progressive". The interview they reference in the first part of that article is the same interview that was in the WSJ along with other media outlets. All the other outlets are reporting that he said "I don't know".

I wrote to the author, requesting clarification and the relevant part of the interview transcript. I'll post his response when I get it.

I generally trust the Washington Post, but when there is something suspicious like this that significantly changes the narrative it's alway good to verify. Surely they would be able to support such a claim if it were true, and would be happy to publish a correction if not. If they can actually verify it, I'll retract my claim on that statement, but the currently available evidence points to that quote being in error. It's possible that its an honest mistake that was overlooked by their fact checkers.

You are correct, you can't accept one quote and not the other. They make no sense together, but the fact that everything I've read on this from multiple sources reports the "I don't know" version except for this one indicates that we have a big problem here that's worth investigating to find the actual truth.
