The conservative activist accused this week in a plot to tamper with telephones in the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) admitted to the scheme Friday.

Well, this matter is continuing to develop. But the lead paragraph of this Compost article appears to be a flat out lie.

Yes, O'Keefe has admitted to a "plot" of sorts, but he has NOT admitted to any plot to "tamper with phones." And if you read the rest of this brief article, it does not confirm that malicious and misleading charge.

I'm getting awfully sick of these lies from these high-paid liars. I thought that the Washington Post was marginally better than the NY Times, but evidently not.

Meh. The Compost is still pining about the old ‘Watergate Days’. They can’t let it go. It’s like an old cheerleader from HS who still does the ‘rah-rahs’ when she’s 50.

Actually he was accused of a plot to tamper with phones. The Washington Post simply fails to state that it is only the media which is accusing him of this! :)

Exactly. The Post is full of libs, but we still expect them to have higher standards than MSNBC when it comes to getting the basic facts right.

The article is written by Carol D. Leonnig. She has a history of getting things factually wrong about O’Keefe.

I’m surprised the Post is letting her cover this story given her history. Oh, wait, its the Post - I’m not surprised.
