It's unrealistic so many sources would be wrong about the same thing.
Recently released audio of the phone call shows that Trump never said these things.
Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump's December phone call with the state's top elections investigator.
PBS NewsHour and CNN likewise seemingly claimed they independently "Confirmed" the story through their own anonymous sources.
The most likely scenario is ABC, the Washington Post, and others shared the same source or sources.
The uncomfortable questions we are left with now are: To whom did these news outlets speak? How did the source or sources get the details of the phone call wrong? Are there additional examples of the media reporting bad information provided by anonymous sources we don't know about, merely because there's no contradictory audio or video? Just how many anonymously sourced stories are not true? If it can happen this easily, who is to say it doesn't happen often? Further, how many of these bogus stories have enjoyed the backing of supposed independent corroboration when newsrooms most likely talked to the same person or people?
At least the journalists who got it wrong can say they "Resisted" Trump.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
