White House Gets Sub-Headline Correction
By Paul Kiel - December 19, 2007, 1:37PM

Victory! Or not quite. The White House's public freak-out over the New York Times has won them... a correction to the Times' sub-headline:

Catherine Mathis, senior vice president of corporate communications for the newspaper, stated that the sub-headline has been changed, adding that a correction would be printed. However, Mathis also pointed out that the White House did not challenge the contents of the article.

4. Remember when the New York Times was a news outlet?

Something to tell my grandchildren someday. :grr:

5. Will the NYT be correcting all the erroneous info they published about Iraq and WMD?

Maybe the NYT will print corrections for the hatchet jobs they've published on Al Gore, John Kerry, and other Democrats?

Didn't think so.

6. All it means is Bushco never said how involved it was, so

technically how could their involvement be more than they said? That's all they quivelled about. They didn't say they were not involved. Ya gotta watch for these non-denial denials.

from the article cited in the OP

I hope the Times runs a correction tomorrow ("A headline claimed "White House Role Wider Than It Said." In fact, White House spokesmen have repeatedly declined to comment on the extent to which White House officials obstructed justice; it was an array of administration officials who misled reporters into believing that the White House had abided by the law in this matter. We regret the error.) so that we can all shift the focus back to where it belongs - to what the White House did, not what it now claims to have done.

7. The Gray Lady is a whore.

And a cheap whore at that.

8. Typical fascist control of the media.

9. NYTimes ...

2005 they tell the world about illegal wiretapping of U.S. citizens ... that was going on in 2004 ... that they knew about well before the 2004 election, but kept quiet ...

2007, they tell the world that the illegal wiretapping of U.S. citizens was going on longer than expected ... well before 9/11/2001 ... wonder how long they sat on that nugget ...
