A good example follows. Weenie conservatives would never use hardball tactics like this. There was a page one article in the Chicago Tribune about a week ago that was subsequently picked up by papers nationwide. Overall the article was reasonably fair and well written. In the article, Gen. George Casey, the commander of multinational forces in Iraq, was misquoted as saying "the debate at home doesn't take a toll on the soldiers and their families." He actually said that the debate "does take a toll on the soldiers and their families."
Of course, the correction always shows up later on page 26 or so, not page 1 where the article was. Although the misquote could indeed be an honest mistake...IMHO it smells pretty bad....because they happen so often....and are so one sided.
