Topic: Newsmax
We can't even remember the last time we saw one of these, but here it is: a prominent NewsMax correction.
A Nov. 14 article tries to soft-pedal it by calling it a "clarification" in the headline, but it is in fact a full-fledged correction. NewsMax fully admits that in a Nov. 11 item, it atributed a quote by Sen. John Kerry to Sen. John McCain. Somebody (since it does not have a history of doing so on its own) sent NewsMax into full mea culpa mode here:
The quote attributed to Sen. McCain was published in error. Sen. McCain never made such a comment.
The quote should have been attributed to Senator John Kerry (D-MA), as reported by the New York Times on Friday November 11.
[...]
NewsMax apologies for the error and duly notes the correction.
Wow, NewsMax. We didn't know you had it in you to honorably apologize for making a factual error. As long as you're in a correcting mood, how about setting the record straight about your lie that y'all never claimed that U2 was holding a fund-raiser for Rick Santorum?
