I thought this was a nothingburger though? Or is this another example of fake news? Or just another diversion to stop us talking about uranium and emails?
I'm guessing Trump will have another meltdown very soon to try and take up some news time.

You’ll probably want to pick another day to sarcastically mock people who distrust the “mainstream media”.
I'd say it's pretty misleading (even fake) of you to attempt to signal that NBC retracted the entire story when the link you provided states that they made a mistake with only one element, and have published a correction. Hmmm.
It's also unrelated to this hnews post, a lot of other sources didn't make this mistake. They also made the correction very quickly, and the entire premise of the article is still correct.
All in all, your comment contains more fake news than the article. Will you redact it?
Obviously they didn’t retract the whole story, and I never said they did. I said they published fake news, and retracted it (the fake part, obviously). They retracted one of the two major claims you can see by just reading the headline.
The entire headline was profoundly misleading. It would be like saying “Orf will testify that Person drove 120 miles per hour on the highway” but omitting the “while shut down for regular traffic and with the permission and guidance of the highway patrol”.
It’s a lie by omission, and to call it anything else is naive. Looking into this further, it turns out the Obama administration in fact directly confirmed they have no problem with this happening during the transition.
I’m not here to defend Trump, but this whole situation of reporting is deeply lacking in journalistic integrity.
