Read on Twitter
the job of the reporter is to report what happens to the extent possible. The fourth paragraph does in fact describe events. But the tweet here does not, and the lede/title continue to center Hawley's lie. Why write this way? https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1346457436476108802
it is, of course, likely that editorial framed the headline, and certainly the tweet, and not the reporter. This is a systemic choice rather than a personal failing (I deleted a tweet tagging the reporter who I am sure is lovely and much better at their job than I am at anything)
almost no one clicks on the link after the tweet
almost no one reads past the headline
almost no one reads past the first couple paragraphs
really almost no one watches the 50 minute video
allowing clearly disprovable right-wing lies to drive the whole piece is wrong.

give hawley a chance to make his claims in paragraph 15 and only print them if you're allowed to ask a followup question maybe
