The Gettysburg Address was meant to have, and did have, a political purpose with which the publishers at the time disagreed.
Really? I see a lot of abuse of Lincoln and the war, but not much serious discussion of ideas or specific policies. I understand that they felt emotional about the war, but if the paper had taken the high road back in 1863, maybe the current editors wouldn't feel the need to retract now.

Here's another bit of political slander in the service of the Socialist Democrats I saw in the local left-wing rag this morning.
Not only is it a blatant lie that food stamps were cut (although they could be significantly reduced if our 'public servants were to eliminate the high percentage of fraud in the program) but is is a naked attempt by a so-called news outlet to parrot the propaganda of their preferred political party.
Nothing much has changed since 1863.
