MSM Admission: Tenet Did Not Call Iraq War "Wrong"

... pretty much obvious from reading the actual quotation. So why did the reporter claim that's what he said? Why was this falsehood the story's headline?

Correction, but of course less prominent than the original article.

The media always chalks these unbelievable gaffes up as mere mistakes -- "we're just human," they say. But it seems to me that all of these alleged "mistakes" seem to inure to the benefit of the Democratic Party, and against the Republican Party.

If you toss a coin 1000 times and it comes up heads 996 times and tails 4 times, well, now, you may be experiencing the tiny end of the probability curve. Or you just might be flipping a biased coin.

Drudge ran the original headline about Tenet calling the war "wrong" on their front page. I'm intensely irritated that, even though I (and probably others) let them know as soon as it popped up that there was an obvious problem with the piece, the lazy bastards ran with the inflammatory link text for the rest of the day until other news pushed it out of the available space. They could have pulled the story until they checked it out, or changed the headline to something like "Reporter claims Tenet called Iraq war wrong."

I haven't been so pissed off with a non-Leftist news vendor since the NY Post's front page screamed "BUSH KNEW!" about 9/11.
