Mainstream outlets face deluge of criticism for retracted Giuliani story, use of anonymous sources

The New York Times, The Washington Post, and NBC News faced a deluge of criticism Monday following the weekend corrections they each issued concerning their false reporting that Rudy Giuliani was warned by the FBI he was a target of a Russian disinformation campaign.

The stories about the alleged warning were published following the FBI raid on the former New York City mayor’s Manhattan apartment on April 29, which came as part of the ongoing investigation into whether or not he violated the law while lobbying on behalf of Ukrainian officials in 2019.
