Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), whose House Oversight committee has overseen the aftermath of such horrors as the “Gun Walker” scandal, has demanded the retraction of a hit piece published by the New York Times. He even wants them to retract the headline: “A Businessman in Congress Helps his District and Himself.”
Issa’s office has cited 13 erroneous statements in the article. Thus far, the Times has issued one “correction.” You know how that works: front-page smear, corrections several days later on page A-37, sandwiched between ads for the Chevy Volt and help-wanted notices from federal regulatory agencies.
The formal request for retraction from Issa’s office wants the Times to do better than that:
On behalf of Rep. Darrell Issa, please accept this as a formal request for a full front page retraction, including the headline, “Helping His District, and Himself,” that ran in the Monday, August 15 edition of the New York Times. The request for a full front page retraction is based on numerous errors that invalidate the primary assertions made in the story that is a false and sensationalized account Rep. Issa’s efforts to conduct congressional oversight of the Obama Administration and other matters.
This request is being sent after New York Times reporter, Eric Lichtblau, who wrote the story, refused to share the contact information of his editors for a discussion of errors in the story as requested by Rep. Issa’s congressional office...

Godspeed Congressman Darrell Issa. A true profile in Courage.
Well, good luck with that.
I wouldn’t expect too much for the New Yawk Slimebags. Those commies will never say anything good about an American. You gotta be a commie, America-hater to get anything good out of the slimes.
In other news, the New York Times is still looking for people to help them dig up dirt on Sarah Palin.
They’re not going to retract it.
They’re a liberal organization who don’t care what you think.
If the “error” appears on the front page above the fold . . . then that’s where the retraction goes. (Ha!)
Why doesn’t Issa run for president?
If only the Founders had established a method of kicking socialist states out of the Union, but then, they never envisioned such an ignorant bunch of freedom-haters being in the U.S.A. in the first place.
everone and their mothers are, why not him

That is corrrect.
The New York Times is, first and foremost, an organ for its Democrat party. Truth and fact and fairness in reporting have absolutely no bearing on anything when it comes to the New York Times (and its faggot-in-charge) shilling for the Democrat party and the Democrat party's America-hating, socialist agenda.
That's just the way it is and there's no point whining about it.
When someone says the NYT made an error while printing dirt on a conservative, that someone is giving the NYT way too much leeway. They don’t make mistakes. They do it intentionally.
The thing is... Obama is destroying every good relationship there is around. Big tent liberal Fabian democrates are imploding for letting Marxists like Obama run amock.
Obama is destroying their prized globalist and friendship with Mexico, China and RUssia.
Yep, dream of that reset button Hillary... eh eh eh... and you sure whored the rest of the Democrates for your career.
We see how it is in DC.
Pop the popcorn now.
Lying, smearing, muck raking and treasonous leaks is their stock in trade
Go for the jugglar!
NBC sent their part time puke Michael Isikoff up to Alaska looking for dirt on Sarah. he filed one post-arrival story which predicted he would have the goods on her in a few days.
Nothing more was heard from him...

Sounds to me like the ATF has been “coercing” media outlets...
