The New York Times so far has issued three corrections to reporter Eric Lichtblaus August 15 front-page hit piece on conservative California Rep. Darrell Issa of California, but the paper won't consider a retraction because, as the Times's Washingtion bureau chief says: The article was carefully reported, written, and edited, and we stand by the story both in its broad thrust and, except as noted, in its particular details.
Lichtblau, who along with James Risen is notorious for printing the sensitive details of classified terrorist surveillance programs on the front page of the Times, is not known for his fairness to conservative subjects; his 2008 book Bushs Law bluntly accused the administration of lying about the war on terror (quotation marks are Lichtblaus).

GMTA!
GMTA! (Ignore # 4, wherein I agree with myself — for a change.)
The article was carefully reported, written, and edited, and we stand by the story both in its broad thrust and, except as noted, in its particular details.
So an article that has required no less than three corrections, and is still questionable (at best) is what passes for "carefully reported, written, and edited" by the NYT? My my, well, that tells us all we need to know about the standards (or lack thereof) at the NYT.
As the primary propaganda organ for the Democrat party, the New York Times had to be gnashing its teeth just to admit the few errors it owned up to. I wouldn’t expect anything more from that toilet tissue.

Two good articles from Power Line.
Layers and layers of fact ejectors.
All written by such presstitutes as a man named after a poison - James Risen.
OK, the spelling isn’t totally accurate, but the thrust of the observation is.
Thaat is a ‘Poison Pen’ reference for lurking Democraps.
