NEWSWEEK went back in 2021 and rewrote a 2015 story to erase its own use of the term "Ranger" that was consistent with Tom Cotton's use (and to pretend it never happened).

@EVKontorovich

This is staggering.

@Newsweek

went back and rewrote a 2015 story that had described grads of Ranger School as “Rangers” - to match its present-day story accusing @TomCottonAR, who graduate the school, of not being a Ranger.

I knew it was bad but didn't know it was this bad."

Here's the National Review article pointing out Newsweek's recent revision plus more hypocrisy on the issue the part of other "news" sites:

"Over the weekend, Newsweek picked up Salon’s story attacking Cotton under the headline: 'Tom Cotton Blasted for Claims About Being an Army Ranger by Lawmaker Who Was One.'"

"Cotton’s communications director Caroline Tabler tells National Review that Cotton’s office contacted Newsweek this weekend to point out that Newsweek had identified the female Ranger school graduates as Army Rangers in 2015. Newsweek responded by editing its 2015 story to conform to Salon’s new smear of Cotton. The 2015 Newsweek story no longer says the two women 'will become rangers' — the edited version says they 'will be allowed to wear the coveted Ranger tab on their uniforms.' (The original Newsweek story can be viewed here.)"
