This is how many times now, in just the past few months where they have been busted for lying? And at the same time, they post endless stories with 'anonymous sources'. This place went downhill fast. I don't know why anyone sees them as reputable anymore. There credibility is shot if you ask me.

‘A Complete Fabrication’: FCC Blasts The Washington Post

Officials with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) blasted The Washington Post Friday over a story alleging that the FCC’s Chairman Ajit Pai is getting too cozy with the White House.

Pai’s chief of staff, Matthew Berry, said in a tweet that WaPo reporter Brian Fung invented a fake meeting between President Donald Trump and Chairman Pai.

The Washington Post suggested that Pai met with Trump on Thursday as part of a larger meeting with tech industry leaders. While Pai did attend a breakout session with tech leaders as part of a general conversation about policy, he did not meet with Trump.

He left at 9:45 a.m. for an FCC Open Meeting, according to the spokesman.

Nathan Leamer, a policy advisor with Pai’s office, also took issue with the story.

“It was not based on the facts of yesterday’s events,” a source close to the Chairman told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
