Earlier Tuesday, NBC News reported that President Barack Obama had shaken hands with Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe. However, the UK Telegraph’s Josie Ensor reported that Obama “was asked to take his seat just before reaching Mugabe.” Complicating matters, another article in the UK Telegraph also claimed that Obama had shaken hands with Mugabe–in very similar terms to those used in the NBC article.
Breitbart News caught the discrepancy–and suddenly the NBC News article was corrected, with no notice.
Before:
On his way to the rostrum, Obama also shook the hand of Robert Mugabe, the strongman ruler of Zimbabwe, and hugged Dilma Rousseff, the president of Brazil, who has stridently opposed spying by the National Security Agency and criticized the U.S. government.
