Corrections Request: The Huffington Post

UPDATE: HuffPo corrected the post but did not post an update aknowleding a previous version of the story contained false information.

Moments ago the Huffington Post published an article by Lila Shapiro that requires a correction:

On Monday night, conservative activist and alleged wiretapper James O’Keefe went on Hannity to give his first interview since getting arrested in the New Orleans office of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.).

It is provably false to claim any allegations of wiretapping. There are also no allegations of any wiretap plot in the FBI affidavit that was released early last week, and a law enforcement official has conceded that the four men were not attempting to wiretap or intercept calls. In addition, legal representation for the accused has gone on record stating there were no intentions to tap phones in the Senator’s office.

Furthermore, Shapiro sources the term “alleged wiretapper” to an Associated Press article that contains no mention of wiretapping or bugging. The source is bogus and the term “alleged wiretapper” goes wholly unverified.

Last week, we requested the Huffington Post correct this post by Jonathan Turley. That correction is still outstanding.

Please issue corrections/retractions to these stories post haste.
