My prayers to his family.

The travesty of this whole situation is that the MSM reporting of the "rumors" is so widespread that the sheer pervasiveness of it gives them cover. The only people who would know that O'Keefe's case didn't involve actual wiretapping are those familiar with the "new media" or Retracto. To pick out the error for correction in individual publications is like plucking sand from the ocean. There can never be a rollback of the "wiretapping" smear. It was everywhere, they were all saying it, how can it not be true?

I really appreciate that the "wait for the facts" stance of the BIG sites proved to be the right call. It's a shame that so many MSM outlets have totally renounced such basic journalistic standards and have joined the ranks of the tabloids with their shoddy reporting.

Thanks for bringing this up again. It was outrageous how blatantly Obama's campaign was flouting the law when it came to fundraising, especially regarding foreign donations. No one cared. I still doubt this issue will get any traction. Why do we even have these laws? It only hobbles honorable men while the rest can claim an unfair advantage. I'm looking at you Barack.

Wow, that's not just a retraction request, that's an outright "fisking," Retracto is quite a multi-talented Alpaca!

This is one of the drawbacks of digital media. I think there should be a change in the prevailing style guide (or standards) which requires a visible strikethrough for the correction. This stuff happens in all areas of the internet and it's definitely weaselly. However, the MSM claim to hold themselves to higher standards so if that's the case then lead by example and own your mistakes.

This is just so hilarious. I laughed out loud when I saw it on Drudge this morning. I don't care who he was talking to. Image is everything and he looks significantly diminished in this photo. I laugh at Obama but weep for my country.

I would really like the thank the National Enquirer for leading on this one. And especially David Perel for realizing,

"We knew what we had and we knew he was lying. He was willing to say anything to cover this up. At that point, we thought ‘he’s dangerous.’"

They didn't just do it for the sensationalism, they were on a mission for truth. They saved us from another elitist who didn't believe the rules applied to him. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

EMP attack. That's the scenario my family plays at "war-gaming." It's a mental exercise in survival strategies and not an entirely worthless endeavor. However, when you think of all it would take to survive if our civilization as we know it collapsed, it is pretty darned depressing. I really do prefer my other mental exercise, "If I won the lottery..."

The problem is there's nowhere for Olbermann to go from there. I mean Scott Brown hit the leftist ad hominem trifecta. He's a racist, homophobic teabagger. (Isn't homophobic teabagger an oxymoron? Can we get a ruling from Anderson Cooper on that?)
