NBC botches story about Trump and Robert E. Lee, corrrects it after media runs with it

Trump Derangement Syndrome is effecting the mainstream media's ability in covering the president.

From the Hill:

President Trump on Sunday accused the media of “purposely” changing the meaning of his comments on Robert E. Lee.

In a tweet, Trump claimed that his comments about the Confederate general were “actually a shoutout” to Ulysses S. Grant.

“NBC News has totally and purposely changed the point and meaning of my story about General Robert E Lee and General Ulysses Grant,” Trump tweeted. “Was actually a shoutout to warrior Grant and the great state in which he was born. As usual, dishonest reporting. Even mainstream media embarrassed!”

NBC News originally tweeted that Trump called Lee “incredible,” but later posted a corrected tweet noting that the “incredible” comment was about Grant, not Lee.

The Hill shows the correction Tweet from NBC, but I thought James Woods' comments add much needed context.

But, of course, the damage is done, and right before #midterms. Tell me this was an oversight. Dear God, the #Democrat media shills are appalling. #FakeNewsNBC https://t.co/6biyKJf5IZ

But before the correction much of the media reported on Lee's "incredible" remark. Which of course never happened.
