Another example of misreporting at Bush's expense

Power Line: The AP clarifies what the AP muddied

I half noticed on the late news earlier this week some video being run of President Bush being given warnings on the levees in New Orleans. I did not see the whole story, just a little bit of the video, but I was left with the impression that this was indeed harmful to the President's earlier denial of warnings.

Well, the good folk of Powerline have this covered, and they note that Associate Press have belatedly corrected their initial reporting. The story remains the same as it was before: Bush was warned of water "overtopping" the levies, not that the levies themselves would break.

Of course, subtleties are lost on the main stream press and much of the public, and of course corrections never get the same converage as the original story.

And the main stream media wonder why they are not held in high regard.a
