What?
The reporter he has spoken to ,had nothing to do with the story. He only put that comment in there to relate how things are written.
My question was about contacting the editor who was responsible for using (sic).It seems unlikely that anyone would be available to respond to an editing inquiry during the New Year's holiday. In fact, to simply state that ABC hadn't responded, without the context as to how the contact was made, seems to be the kind of thing we accuse the NYT, CBS and the rest of the gang of doing in their reporting. After finding the full meaning of (sic) I think the charge against ABC to be something I would expect from moveon.org but not from FR.
Dog (you) chasing its tail! You say he was in contact, then complain about the contact, then complain about the whole thing!
Put the coffee cup down!
