Newspaper Retracts Lie About Murtha, Will The Right Wing Follow Suit?
Last week, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel claimed that Rep. John Murtha had called the United States the "biggest threat" to world peace.
Conservatives everywhere started simultaneously wacking their bags in breathless antipathy.
The paper has now come out with a correction to their shitty reporting:
Correction: An article in Sunday’s editions misinterpreted a comment from U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., at a town hall meeting in North Miami on Saturday. In his speech, Murtha said U.S. credibility was suffering because of continued U.S. military presence in Iraq ,and the perception that the U.S. is an occupying force. Murtha was citing a recent poll, by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, that indicates a greater percentage of people in 10 of 14 foreign countries consider the U.S. in Iraq a greater danger to world peace than any threats posed by Iran or North Korea.Retractions, anybody???
