Why did a NY Daily News article on O’Keefe disappear and then reappear on its site? -FReeper reports

And why has a second false article
not been corrected or retracted?

Many reporters and news outlets have been scrambling lately to avoid a lawsuit by activist-videographer James O’Keefe. They’re issuing corrections or retractions to their published false claims that he was charged by the FBI with “bugging” and/or “wiretapping” during his recent service call to Senator Mary Landrieu’s Louisiana office. But even as the press backtracks, the slanderous statements are being widely (and wildly) repeated.

Some sources are correcting themselves voluntarily, and some after on-air haranguing and corporate reprimands. These include The Washington Post, MSNBC’s David Shuster, Talking Points Memo, CBS News, and the Associated Press.

And some are doing it… well, not at all. The N.Y. Daily News, for instance.

James Gordon Meek, a serious-looking member of the Daily News’ Washington bureau, has filed two stories about the O’Keefe arrest. He has also chortled with his colleagues about the matter on Twitter.

One of his articles states that O’Keefe was “popped by the FBI Tuesday on charges of bugging”; and that “as the bogus hardhats tried to bug an office phone, O’Keefe held up a cell phone “…so as to record Flanagan and Basel,” the FBI said.” (Emphasis mine.)

The rats think that they’re 5 years old again, and they’ve been set free in a candy factory. (they don’t seem to mind that the candy is poisoned)

I’m about to go after NYDN again about why no retraction to their O’Keefe slander.

Let’s keep this thread bumped!

I love that readers from NY Daily News IP addresses are still checking out this article every other day or so.
