The purpose of the "correction" is to give news organizations a cover to either ignore or brush off the story, just like MSNBC did. "Move along folks, there's nothing to see here." The story about Kerry making things up or lying about these foreign leaders becomes irrelevant, history, and they, the news media organizations, have a reason not to pursue it.

I know that.

I'll not stand by and ignore it, though.

BTW, the male anchor, Randy whoever, just repeated the report almost exactly as I transcribed above without referencing context and subsequent Kerry utterances.

I report this not out of surprise or shock, but in an effort to inform those not watching how it is being reported on MSNBC.
