Nation hit-piece on Clark remains uncorrected

[kiahzero]

The article "Clark's True Colors", by Matt Taibbi, has still not been corrected to reflect the out-of-context quote used in this paragraph:

If this kind of talk sounds familiar, that's because it is. Clark doesn't hide it. "I'm a product of that military-industrial complex General Eisenhower warned you about," he said with a smile a few weeks ago, during a speech at the UNH campus in Manchester. The general assumed--correctly--that the term no longer inspired revulsion in young audiences.

If I recall correctly, Kahuna sent them a video of the speech, and their reply was that a correction had been made. If you look at the story now, it has a correction over an attribution of a different quote, but nothing more.

4. The Nation is really quite a well read magazine

Of course most of their readers can think for themselves.

5. Thanks kiahzero. I'll just include that fact in my letter to them.

It's hard to itemize all the crap in the huge steaming pile
that Matt Taibbi dumped on Clark. But inaccurate
quotes are as bad as it gets in "journalism."

6. I subscribe to the Nation, it is a good magazine

Of course I don't agree with everything in it, I will read the piece on Clark later this week.

7. Well for me

their credibility is completely shot because of that article. It is an undercover smear job.

8. I'm confused, did he say it or not ?

you suggest that it needs correction but then say it was just out of context.

which is it ?
