I spoke with the journalist in question as well as his lawyer while preparing the story.
LOLING his Twitter photo was my idea.

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.)

It would be a pleasure to watch Mr O’Keefe become rich at the expense of left wing prosecutorial and journalistic malpractice.
..because they weren’t following the WH story line....EXACTLY
Please, ping captains, support your local FReeper reporter and ping all your lists.
Then furiously tweet this story to your Facebook pages...
I’d like to see this one go viral. My last big story on Ray Kelly was carried by Fox News, The Washington Post, and BigGovernment.com. Let’s push this one to Drudge if we can...
And because if they can, they want to turn this story into Watergate 2. The left loved Watergate. They miss Watergate. They want to bring it back.
Pinging to an important article!

Ping!
I take it you are envious.
The left can no longer control the message. The MSM sold their cred for wins in '06 and '08. Also, Brietbart and his Big Government website is pushing back HARD (Yeah, baby).
Yes, jealous, that’s it! Jealous of people who spread slander!
Well, actually, beat reporters don’t make much money. I’m just saying.
They are all going to end up in court, and sued for large settlements. Especially MSNBC and their freak show line up of liars, smearers, and libelers of the Left: Schultz, Matthews, Olbermann, and Maddow, are all going to be publicly tried and found guilty of beinhg the liars that they are! them and their propaganda “network”.
He also made the excellent point that national news organizations have been doing what he did for years; pretending to be something they're not, in order to get a story. It's an old journalistic tactic.
Dog’s link was posted exactly 90 minutes after the blog was published. (Now, who could have known about that blog… We know hardly anyone reads it…)
LOL! Sorry fact is, his editors are probably too lame to catch on.

another one, silly!
Interesting interview he gave Sean last nite
It’s all coming unglued for the rats.
And they’re doing most of it to themselves, and can’t seem to stop. Its like Moses and Pharaoh all over again.
