The New York Times on Friday afternoon issued a correction to its article alleging that two inspectors general had asked the U.S. Justice Department to open a criminal inquiry into whether classified information was mishandled on Hillary Clinton’s personal email account.
The correction came in at 64 words. Read the text of it below:
An earlier version of this article and an earlier headline, using information from senior government officials, misstated the nature of the referral to the Justice Department regarding Hillary Clinton’s personal email account while she was secretary of state. The referral addressed the potential compromise of classified information in connection with that personal email account. It did not specifically request an investigation into Mrs. Clinton.
But, of course, this correction will receive significantly less circulation than the original story which is far more sensational and “scandalous.” This is the modus operandi of our media.
Never apologise, No shame. " the newspaper of record" is now " the newspaper that sows discord".
Fixed.
Yes indeed, they can say “senior government officials” but why don’t they name them?
“Some people say…”
Shitty excuse for journalism IMO.
Jesus. They should just change their name to The New York Breitbart Times.
