USA Today updated a story tying the Trump campaign to a Nazi symbol of an eagle when critics condemned the paper, pointing out that eagles are prominent in America emblems, too.
Last weekend, the paper published a “fact-check” claiming “Trump’s campaign website recently unveiled a T-shirt that has come under fire because of design similarities between its logo and a Nazi symbol” and coming to the conclusion that the claims are “true.”
USA Today’s initial tweet claiming the ruling was “true” received over 3,000 likes, while the update received less than 200 by Friday afternoon.
“If you have to keep updating and changing the results of a ‘fact check,’ maybe you should be doing them,” author Derek Hunter responded.
