In her column last Wednesday, Maureen Dowd wrote that a Democratic lawmaker privately asked Gen. David Petraeus why there weren’t more Democrats in the military, and he replied, “There are more than you think.” Col. Steven Boylan of the general’s public affairs office in Baghdad, which was not contacted for comment, says the quotation “is in error as he never made nor would make such a statement.”

A lot of hearsay, I dare say... Dowd says that a Dem lawmaker said that Petraeus said it. Now the NYT says that Boylan says that Petraeus never said such a thing.

Quite a few corrections on that page. Of course the NYT isn’t concerned about truth, and offers corrections only when called on “errors”. Their only concern is advancing their liberal agenda.

New media has exposed the NY Times as a laughing stock. Rarely does a week go by without something being exposed.

If you want to know the NYSlimes’ agenda you must turn to the ‘corrections’ first. You will find that just everything you read in previous editions is now ‘inoperative’.

Further, they have spread their ‘corrections’ throughout the paper so you might miss a few.
