USA Today has issued a correction after falsely claiming President Joe Biden did not check his watch during a ceremony that saw the 13 U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan last month transferred at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
“This story was updated Sept. 2 to note that Biden checked his watch multiple times at the dignified transfer event, including during the ceremony itself. The rating on this claim has been changed from partly false to missing context,” USA Today wrote in the correction.
