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.

1. and the ny times reporter allegedly said he won't retract it. The times

is not even half the paper it used to be.

[blm]

2. I think it's time we forced that GOP stenographer out of his job.

How many BS articles does this make for the partisan hack?

3. Some sites are still reporting this false story.

4. who made"THE REFERAL" ? is still missing from the New York Times, 'story'. Thats why I canceled NYT

crappy delivery service and pay to view those fake 'stories.'

Hire some real Journalists to check facts instead of using the RW press releases.

5. This is all good ...

Clinton's supporters will be even more solidly behind her.

Her detractors (even some on DU) would believe anything negative about HRC and won't change.

To the independents, it looks like the poor woman is being purposely and perniciously hounded when there is nothing wrong and generates sympathy.

[blm]

7. Not even a Clinton supporter, but, am a supporter of accurate media. This GOP stenographer

is not a reporter and writes like a GOP plant.

A CIA operative on the willingness of journalists to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories:

"You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month."
(probably $2000 and higher now since 'journalist' can be far more effective in the 24/7 news cycle.)

Carl Bernstein/1977:

"More than 400 American journalists … in the past twenty‑five years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to documents on file at CIA headquarters."

8. I do hope

your are right.

6. Huge toe stubbing today.

That had to hurt.

9. Doublespeak.

That paragraph is barely intelligible.
