Joan Walsh
Joan Walsh is not getting any points from me on this retraction and here is way.
First, she lifts passages out of a NY Times article to push her case against Obama. Not good journalism or reporting here. Transferring information from source to personal blog.
Then she reads the post by Phoenix Woman, another secondary source for her information, and offers a retraction with a refrain - "Here's hoping other Democratic surrogates follow Edwards' lead and direct their formidable political firepower at McCain instead of at the two remaining Democrats fighting for the nomination."
Joan needs to follow her own advice. She has unquestionably directed her political firepower against Obama time and again over the silliest of pretenses. Would she have even questioned the dirty tactics of the Clinton campaign as well as her monumental lies, Joan would have found a place in the galaxy of "fair and balanced" journalism. Instead, she will forever be damned for sourcing her critiques from FOX, that paragon of fair and balanced news.
