Jim Hoft's unusual acknowledgment, where he states that Georgia election officials reported no widespread voter fraud or misconduct by Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss, contradicts prior false narratives the Gateway Pundit had perpetuated about them. This retraction came notably after a settlement for a defamation lawsuit led by Freeman and Moss, drawing attention to the challenges faced by reliable news outlets in a climate filled with misinformation and conspiracy theories.
Diving into the previous articles that were removed post-settlement, nearly 70 instances of misinformation promoted by the Gateway Pundit regarding Freeman and Moss's actions were wiped away, indicating an effort to distance themselves from the substantial backlash stemming from the legal challenges they faced, all while much of their audience remains anchored in the far-right narratives perpetuated across social media.
