Opinion: Vanity Fair 'updates' story about Donald Trump Jr., OAN
“Updates” do a lot of work in journalism these days. Sometimes they are used to denote simple amplifications to fast-moving online news stories. Other times they provide cover for the insertion of badly missing context. At other times, they camouflage important corrections that editors and reporters prefer not to label as such.
A challenge to readers: Choose which scenario best describes the update that Vanity Fair inserted into an important media story on Friday afternoon.wrote a piece on Monday about an important development in Trump-friendly media . A group of investors “aligned” with Donald Trump Jr. and the Hicks family of Dallas “has acquired a major stake in One America News Network, the fledgling conservative cable-news channel that features hosts like Jack Posobiec, a chief promoter of the Pizzagate conspiracy,” reported Sherman. The same story also said that the deal “hasn’t yet closed.
OAN wasn’t having one bit of the Sherman story. Charles P. Herring, son of Robert and president of Herring Networks , sent a stern letter to Sherman and the CEO of Conde Nast requesting a retraction and apology for the magazine’s “false and defamatory” claim. “We will not stand by and allow your lies to be disseminated,”. No stake in the business has been sold off, according to Charles Herring. “The facts are undisputable and in direct conflict with your false and defamatory statements.
