As Editor & Publisher's Greg Mitchell noted, The New York Times has issued the following correction to a May 21 article which originally reported that an unreleased Pentagon report found "that about one in seven of the 534 prisoners already transferred abroad from the detention center in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, has returned to terrorism or militant activity" [emphasis added]:
A front-page article and headline on May 21 reported findings from an unreleased Pentagon report about prisoners who have been transferred abroad from the American detention center in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The article said that the Pentagon had found about one in seven of former Guantánamo prisoners had "returned to terrorism or other militant activity," or as the headline put it, had "rejoined jihad."
Those phrases accepted a premise of the report that all the former prisoners had been engaged in terrorism before their detention. Because that premise remains unproved, the day the article appeared in the newspaper, editors changed the headline and the first paragraph on the Times Web site to refer to prisoners the report said had engaged in terrorism or militant activity since their release.
The article and headline also conflated two categories of former prisoners. In the Pentagon report, 27 former Guantánamo prisoners were described as having been confirmed as engaging in terrorism, with another 47 suspected of doing so without substantiation. The article should have distinguished between the two categories, to say that about one in 20 of former Guantánamo prisoners described in the Pentagon report were now said to be engaging in terrorism. (The larger share -- about one in seven --applies to the total number described in the report as confirmed or suspected of engaging in terrorism.)
Will the NY Times issue correction to report on former Gitmo detainees?
Almost beyond words dishonest. Like, off the charts dishonest, which was only highlighted by a new piece of research that I came across. Just really depressing stuff.
First, the background. As I detailed in my column, the Beltway press has categorically refused to put Sotomayor's controversial "Latina woman" quote in context and have steadfastly refused to inform news consumers the comment was made in reference to discrimination cases; a context that completely eliminates the "racist" attack against her. Put it context, it become completely obvious that Sotomayor was plainly not suggesting that women, categorically, make better decisions than men. (But don't tell ABC's Diane Sawyer, who spun the story that way this morning.)
So why is the press playing dumb? Simple. Republicans in the U.S. Senate have made it rather clear that they are not planning any sort of wholesale opposition to Sotomayor's nomination. But reporters and pundits are banking on nomination drama, so they're willing to chase, and legitimize, the "racist" storyline. To do that though, the press has to play dumb on an epic scale about the "Latina woman." To pretend it really was some kind of Battle of the Sexes proclamation.
Bottom line: Reporters and pundits must avoid providing any kind of context for the "Latina woman" quote in order for that storyline to survive even modest scrutiny.
Well, mission accomplished because I just did a Nexis search and found that during the last ten days there have been more than 950 media mentions of Sotomayor and "Latina woman." Then I looked to see how many of those 950-plus news reports included the word "discrimination" as a way to put that quote in context.
Answer: Less than 20.
Or, approximately two percent of news reports have managed to do journalism's most basic task, which is to provide all pertinent information. Instead of informing news consumers, the press has been actively misinforming them about Sotomayor.
That's how dishonest the coverage has been.
Just to add to the Liz Cheney item posted below.
I always chuckle when I read in the mainstream press about how liberal MSNBC is and how it's the liberal equivalent to Fox News. I laugh, of course, because MSNBC devotes its entire morning drive to a program hosted by a former right-wing Republican member of Congress. (I'm still searching for that far-left FNC host.) And lately, MSBNC has been making news by airing Pat Buchanan's incessant and hateful, anti-minority rants against Sonia Sotomayor.
But hey, MSNBC's liberal.
Greg Sargent notes that in recent weeks MSNBC has practically given Liz Cheney her own cot in the green room because she's on the air there so often defending her father and chiming in on how the Obama WH is making America less safe. How and why Liz Cheney suddenly descended from the media heaven as a fully formed must-see guest remains a mystery, and Sargent put the question to an MSNBC flak.
The answer: "Liz is a great guest."
In recent days, several commentators and journalists have highlighted Liz Cheney's frequent -- and often misinformation-filled -- national television interviews. Media Matters has updated our list of Liz Cheney's recent TV appearances, and we've found that just since May 12, she's had at least 22:
• On the June 4 edition of CNN's The Situation Room (5 p.m. hour)
• On the June 4 edition of Fox News' Your World
• On the June 4 edition of MSNBC Live (1 p.m. hour)
• On the June 4 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe (7 a.m. hour)
• On the June 2 edition of Fox News' On the Record (Part II of Greta Van Susteren's interview with Dick and Liz Cheney)
• On the June 1 edition of Fox News' On the Record (Part I of Greta Van Susteren's interview with Dick and Liz Cheney)
• On the June 1 edition of CNN's Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull
• On the May 28 edition of MSNBC Live (2 p.m. hour)
• On the May 27 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends
• On the May 26 edition of Fox News' The Live Desk
• On the May 22 edition of ABC's Good Morning America
• On the May 22 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe
• On the May 22 edition of CNN's American Morning
• On the May 21 edition of CNN's Anderson Cooper 360
• On the May 21 edition of Fox News' Hannity
• On the May 21 edition of MSNBC Live
• On the May 20 edition of Fox News' Your World
• On the May 17 edition of ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos
• On the May 16 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends Saturday
• On the May 15 edition of Fox News' On the Record
• On the May 12 edition of Fox News' The Live Desk
• On the May 12 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe
Thanks to Chrissy Schwen, Zachary Pleat, and Hannah Kieschnick for assembling this list.
That was the Sharon Theimer article that implied Sotomayor and White House aides were being hypocritical in pushing Sotomayor's humble "blue collar" roots while ignoring how "wealthy" she is; for not dwelling on her "riches."
We dismantled that canard at the time, and now there's more context regarding Sotomayor's financial situation. The new details only confirm what I suspected: the AP article was rather disgraceful.
Here are the actual facts about Sotomayor's financial standing [emphasis added]:
On Thursday, Sotomayor advised the Senate Judiciary Committee that she has savings of about $32,000 as well as $15,000 in credit card debt. The 54-year-old appellate court judge also is on the hook for a $15,000 dentist bill.
Talk about Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous!
Oh but wait, the AP thought it was a very big deal that Sotomayor lived in Manhatten's Greenwich Village, "a neighborhood of million-dollar-plus homes." Here's what we now know about Sotomayor's Greenwich Village apt: it's valued at $1 million.
To understand what $1 million will buy you in Greenwich Village, click here. The answer is you can buy a very nice one-bedroom apartment that's less than 1,000 square feet. Total.
But the AP can't understand why the White House won't talk about Sotomayor's "riches."
Responding to a Pew Hispanic Center report titled, "Latino Children: A Majority Are U.S.-Born Offspring of Immigrants," Townhall.com national political reporter Jillian Bandes writes of Hispanics: "Seems to be a culture of illegitimacy at work." From her June 5 blog post:
Children of Hispanics Are More Frequently Illegitimate The Longer Their Parents Have Been In The U.S.
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 10:00 AM
69 percent of first-generation Hispanic children live with their married parents.
73 percent of second-generation Hispanic children live with their married parents.
52 percent of third-generation Hispanic children live with their married parents.
Seems to be a culture of illegitimacy at work....
From today's edition of the CW-loving Note:
There's plenty there to keep his attention:...a storyline is developing around Judge Sonia Sotomayor that can at least make the hearings more interesting.
If you even have to ask whether the "developing" storyline has to do with the "Latina woman" quote, then you have not been paying attention. Because Judge Sonia Sotomayor, who has more federal bench experience than any SCOTUS nominee in a 100 years, has been nominated and the press (taking its cue from the GOP) couldn't care less about her legal record. The press (taking its cue from the GOP) only cares about an eight-year-old quote, which the press will only reference if all context has been surgically removed.
That's what the nomination story revolves around. Period.
And now the crew at The Note is giddy because a new wrinkle to the "Latina woman" story has been added and will "at least make the hearings more interesting."
That, my friends, is the money quote of the last two weeks. Because in it, the Note acknowledges what other journalists will not, which is the entire point of the press coverage is make sure the hearings are interesting. That's all the press cares about. Period. And will do whatever it takes to prop up phony "drama."
As I noted earlier:
The press has already penciled in weeks' worth, if not months' worth, of Supreme Court nomination coverage for this summer. Married to the idea that Senate hearings hold the promise of dissolving into the wild pie fights, like the raucous affairs that unfolded during the dramatic Clarence Thomas and Robert Bork showdowns, the Beltway press relentlessly hypes these stories even though, as more recent nominations have shown, the hearings themselves turn out to be wildly anticlimactic.
Worse for the press was the fact that early indications from key Republican senators last week were that Sotomayor faced a relatively easy confirmation "battle" and that excluding some type of unforeseen personal scandal, she was good as confirmed.
Where's the drama in that? How are reporters and pundits supposed to gobble up endless hours of TV talk time by simply marveling at how Obama picked an eminently qualified judge who garnered bipartisan Senate support?

The WashPost columnist wrote a welcome piece on Thursday about how the press is treating Noise Machine leaders such as Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich like actual party leaders, even though they have no traditional power; the kind of power that the Beltway press always required before taking players seriously.
Dionne was dead on when he wrote:
If you doubt that there is a conservative inclination in the media, consider which arguments you hear regularly and which you don't. When Rush Limbaugh sneezes or Newt Gingrich tweets, their views ricochet from the Internet to cable television and into the traditional media. It is remarkable how successful they are in setting what passes for the news agenda.
Shorter version: Who cares what Newt Gingrich thinks?
But here I have to take issue with Dionne, who, at least to my ear, stretches too far in order to blame Democrats for creating the Limbaugh/Gingrich media monster:
Democrats are complicit in building up Gingrich and Limbaugh as the main spokesmen for the Republican Party, since Obama polls so much better than either of them.
I don't buy it. Or to be more specific, I think Dionne's at best 20 percent correct. Because yes, there may have been times when, strategically, Democrats wanted the radical right rhetoric of AM talk show hosts and disgraced former speakers of the House out front. But to suggest that has been the driving force I think is off the mark.
Here's a for-instance. I was watching Wolf Blitzer last night report on Obama's speech to Muslims and as part of CNN's prepared report, virtually the first voice Blitzer introduced to guage reaction to Obama's speech was Rush Limbaugh. That's the media's first pivot. That's where Beltway journalists start their reporting: What did Rush and Newt say? It's unprecedented, of course. But 'serious' political media in the country have abandoned longtime standards and have decided to turn right-wing hate talkers into legit news players.
And trust me, that has not been done at the prompting of Democrats.
Fox News has been promoting a segment on "Gore's green money" for tonight's O'Reilly Factor, asking: "Is Al making tons of cash off global warming fears?"
Gore says he's donated the money he's earned from climate-related ventures to a non-profit, but in the past, The O'Reilly Factor has had trouble pointing that out.
Just last month, while guest-hosting the Factor, Laura Ingraham said: "It seems that being green does pay big time -- just ask Al Gore. Mr. Global Warming was worth about $2 million or so when he left office in 2001, but after eight years of tirelessly working to save the world, the planet, he's now reportedly -- get this -- worth a whopping $100 million. His financial windfall came up at last week's Capitol Hill hearing."
Ingraham then proceeded to air clips of Gore's April 24 congressional testimony that had been edited to remove his statements that he donates the money he makes from his climate-related work to a non-profit organization.
For example, Ingraham aired a clip of Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn asking Gore, "Is the legislation that we are discussing here today, is that something that you are going to personally benefit from?" But the Factor edited out the portion of Gore's response in which he stated: "But every penny that I have made, I have put right into a nonprofit, the Alliance for Climate Protection, to spread awareness of why we have to take on this challenge."

According to data released by NASA and NOAA this week, 2012 was the 9th or 10th warmest year (respectively) globally on record. NASA's analysis produced the 9th warmest year in its dataset; NOAA recorded the 10th warmest year in its dataset. The two agencies have slightly different analysis techniques, which in this case resulted in not only different temperature anomaly values but somewhat different rankings as well.

I feel dirty. I feel dirty because the United States government wanted to blow up the moon to prove to the Soviet Union what big bad asses we were. Flashback: The Cold War. We had bombs, they had bombs, but we (maybe) had a better space program, so the idea was, according to reports in the Daily Mail, to launch an atom bomb to the moon and have it detonate and scare the Ruskies.

FDL Movie Night: Man on a Mission
|By: Lisa Derrick Monday January 16, 2012 5:00 pm
At some point everyone of a certain age must have dreamed of being an astronaut, of flying into space, boldly going where man had gone before. I grew up with a dad who was a human factor specialist for NASA, basically an on-earth test astronaut. Richard Garriott–one of our guests tonight and the subject of Man on a Mission–is the son of an astronaut, Owen Garriott who rode aboard Skylab 2; he wanted to follow in his dad's footsteps. Fate, and bad eyesight, prevented him from becoming an official astronaut so he set off to make his dreams come true (and along the way, he became the father of a whole generation of computer gamers.)

Reed making the most of Monday PGA qualifiers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Patrick Reed has developed quite a knack for Monday PGA Tour qualifiers.
For the second straight week, the 21-year-old Reed beat the long odds, successfully Monday qualifying for a PGA Tour event. He also got into the Texas Open three weeks ago when he was offered a sponsor exemption while playing in the Monday qualifier.
The exhausting stretch has left him and his caddie, fiancee Justine Karain, running on fumes.
Now the extensive travel and sleepless nights might be about to pay off.
For the first time in his six starts on tour, Reed is in position to make some noise after a 6-under 66 that left him a stroke off the first-round lead in the Wells Fargo Championship. That put him ahead of some of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson.
The big question now is when - or if - Reed runs out of gas.
"We're basically running on adrenaline," Reed said. "We're pretty tired. Actually, I'm not really getting to practice a lot after and before rounds here, trying to conserve energy because we've been running with our heads cut off for the past month."
The run began three weeks ago.
Reed, who helped Augusta State to national championships in 2010 and 2011, caught a break when he was pulled off the third green during a qualifier for the Texas Open and was offered a sponsor exemption after Peter Lonard withdrew from the field. Reed made the cut and tied for 35th to earn $29,915.
"That's basically what jump started this whole entire run," Reed said.
He and Karain didn't have time to celebrate, jumping in a car and driving 10 hours to New Orleans for the qualifier the next morning at the Zurich Classic.
She drove. He slept.
Or at least he tried to.
"It was a little bumpy," he said.
The couple pulled into the Big Easy at 2:45 a.m. and, on four hours sleep, Reed went out and shot a 4-under 66, making a birdie on a second playoff hole to earn his way in.
Again he cashed in, tying for 24th and pocketing $51,840, his largest paycheck ever.
A few hours later it was back on the road.
The couple had to fly through Chicago to get to Greenville, S.C., Sunday night. After another 90-minute drive to Charlotte Monday morning, the tireless Reed jumped out of the car and buried a 15-foot birdie putt on the last hole to finish 5 under, avoiding an 11-man playoff for two spots in the Wells Fargo Championship.
Reed says he couldn't have done it without Karain, a registered nurse who has put her career on hold to be his caddie. He often plays on emotion and has a tendency to get upset when he misplays a shot.
Karain calms him down.
"She's so positive with the whole thing," Reed said. "If I hit a couple bad shots I'll start to get down on myself and she'll pick me right up immediately and won't allow me to self-sabotage my round or any hole."
