I was watching the CBS morning show today when they ran a piece about the pregnant teenage girls who supposedly made a pact to all get pregnant. The piece showed the mayor of the city where this happened giving a press conference about the charges. According to the mayor, when they questioned the high school principal, who was the source for the original story, about what evidence he had to substantiate his charges he suddenly lost his memory. The CBS piece then went on to tell the viewers that TIME magazine was the one who originally broke this story using the principal as their source.
Heckuva Job there TIME for giving the public the fact free Pelosi/FISA story AND the fact free pregnancy pact story. Boy you guys are really on a roll.
Here's a NYT piece that gives the same info and advises that TIME has updated their story but it's pretty clear that the update is nothing but a CYA effort by TIME.:
