[...] Kessler's fact check has not aged well.  Just last week Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devon Archer, testified before Congress that the article was "not correct reporting."  Instead of retracting the article – as the Post did with some of its debunked Russiagate coverage – or running a straightforward correction, the paper has appended a series of "updates" to its reporting.   [...]

Introducing Contempt of Public
