Washington Post Runs a 'Correction' For an Unfair Attack Against O'Keefe

Power Line Blog writer Scott Johnson seems to have been effective in getting a correction after his counter to an unfair attack against O'Keefe (Berman Post: Power Line Blog Defends James O'Keefe). It is not exactly what he was looking for, nor as far as they should have gone, but it is a positive result.

"UPDATE: The Post runs a correction of the Fears/Leonnig story today:





Correction to This Article

This article about the community organizing group ACORN incorrectly said that a conservative journalist targeted the organization for hidden-camera videos partly because its voter-registration drives bring Latinos and African Americans to the polls. Although ACORN registers people mostly from those groups, the maker of the videos, James E. O'Keefe, did not specifically mention them.





In other words, Post reporters Fears and Leonnig fabricated the existence of an O'Keefe quotation indicating a racial animus for O'Keefe's reportage. The race angle existed only in the minds of the Washington Post itself. Thanks for clearing that up.
