In our effort to push back against so much misinformation, we wanted to flag an important update on a story that’s been widely circulating.
The Guardian ran an article that was later corrected. The outlet acknowledged it had to update the piece after realizing part of the reporting wasn’t accurate.
As seen in the screenshot provided of the story, the editor’s note reads:
“This article was updated on 12 September 2025 to remove summarized quotes after the verified source who attended high school with Tyler Robinson said after publication that they could not accurately remember details of their relationship.”
In plain terms:
– The Guardian originally included paraphrased comments from someone who said they knew the suspect in high school. They claimed, citing an unnamed high school friend, that suspect Tyler Robinson was the lone “leftist” in a family of “very hard” Republicans.
– After the piece ran, that person admitted they weren’t sure about those details.
– The Guardian then removed the quotes and added a note explaining the correction.
