We have now done that, and you will see the link to the original at the top of the updated version.”Įrik Wemple, the Post’s media critic, argued that the incident at his paper was “surely” a screwup and that the Post should have left “good journalism alone.” He did, however, take issue at the assertion that the motivation for the change in lede was political: We should have kept both versions of the story on the Post’s site (the original and updated one), rather than redirecting to the updated version. In a second statement, Kris Coratti, the Post’s vice president for communications, told Reason the redirect on the 2019 version of the profile was a mistake. Now, however, the newly repurposed story includes a link to the original version of the story with the original lead intact. The original story remains available in print. We repurposed and updated some of our strong biographical pieces about both political figures … The profile of Maya Harris was updated with new reporting, as noted online, using the existing URL. In response to Reason’s critique, Molly Gannon Conway, the Post’s communications manager, told Reason that they repurposed several biographical features for the inauguration, but that they should have communicated their change better, and also allowed the original 2019 version to remain online without the redirect:

Absent that change, the rest of the story remained largely the same. 22 2021, as part of a series of features prepared for the Biden Inauguration, The Washington Post republished the Terris piece with a new lead and a new co-author, removing the controversial comments from the 2019 version of the story. “‘And water! I just want wahtahhh….’Your standards really go out the f-ing window.” “It’s a treat that a prisoner gets when they ask for, ‘A morsel of food please,’ ” Kamala said shoving her hands forward as if clutching a metal plate, her voice now trembling like an old British man locked in a Dickensian jail cell.
It was the Fourth of July, Independence Day, and Kamala Harris was explaining to her sister, Maya, that campaigns are like prisons. The anecdote included a poorly received joke about prisoners and water: The article opened with a widely derided comparison made by then-Presidential candidate Harris about how campaigns are like prisons. On July 23 2019, Washington Post reporter Ben Terris published a profile of Maya Harris - Vice President Kamala Harris’ younger sister and adviser.
