Washington Post Repeats Embarrassing Business Insider Error

Last week’s newsletter noted the extremely embarrassing error from Business Insider conflating the number of people moving out of Florida with the number of people moving there to suggest the state’s success was exaggerated. Insider had to retract their entire article and apologize in a very humiliating way.

As mentioned at the time, it should have been common sense that more people were not moving out of Florida compared to New York or California given all the recent news about migration patterns. But somehow that didn’t stop the Washington Post from publishing a Jennifer Rubin post centered on the very same error days later.

Not only was Rubin clearly too lazy to do her own research — with her simply copying the claim from Business Insider — but so were her editors. If they can’t catch such blatant errors, why should anyone trust the Post’s opinion section?
