Thanks to the sterling work of Patterico, CBS has corrected numerous errors in their coverage of James O’Keefe’s latest investigation. Before: here. After: here and here. Still, CBS has thus far failed to correct a link alledging O’Keefe and the the other three conservative activists are being suspected of bugging. A screenshot taken today just after 4pm PST:

CBS WHOOPS 1

There are no allegations of any bugging plot in the FBI affidavit, and a law enforcement official has conceded that the four men were not attempting to wiretap or intercept calls. Furthermore, legal representation for the accused has gone on record stating there were no intentions to bug phones in the Senator’s office.

We kindly ask you to issue a correction/retraction to the story.

We have been/will be making similar requests of other news sources to correct similar errors. Some, such as the Washington Post, Talking Points Memo, MSNBC’s David Shuster, and CBS News have already have posted corrections or retractions.
