A Retraction and a Warning
The story on Old Media Tricks has not been fully resolved. However, there has been a retraction and a warning regarding anonymous sources.
See La Shawn Barber and Michelle Malkin. The story on the retraction appears here.
At least Josh Claybourn had the decency to admit he was duped and issued a retraction. That is more than I can say for the Old Media. Also, Claybourn's retraction did not appear on page B14.
It is a great lesson for all of us...
Air Force Voices will continue to keep up with the story.
Your point on retractions by the MSM is the same one have I made many times...just 'fess up, but 'fess up in the same manner your screwed up. Front page error, requires front page retraction. Keep up the great work. MM
