In an article published May 28th at CBSNews.com by Carlin DeGuerin Miller, it is twice alleged that James O’Keefe and three activist colleagues plead guilty to attempting to tamper with the phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu’s New Orleans offices. First, in the headline:
“James O’Keefe and Co. Plead Guilty to Tampering with Senator’s Phones”
And again in the body of the article:
O’Keefe and three cohorts pleaded guilty Wednesday to dressing up as telephone repairmen in order to tamper with the phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-La.) office.
O’Keefe and company pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor crime of entering a federal building under false pretenses. As Patterico pointed out in a similar correction request to New York Magazine issued yesterday, “the government couldn’t prove that he attempted to tamper with the phones in Landrieu’s office — which is why the charges were reduced to the far less serious misdemeanor charge.”
We kindly ask CBS News to issue a formal correction.
