Correction Request: CNN Also Tampering with the Truth

In the article “O’Keefe: ‘I’d do it again’,” published June 1st on CNN’s “Political Ticker,” it is alleged that James O’Keefe and three activist colleagues attempted to tamper with the phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu’s New Orleans offices:

The conservative videographer who plead guilty to entering federal property under false pretenses following an attempt to tamper with Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office phone system says that if given the chance, he’d do it again.

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 last week, “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 CNN to issue a formal correction.
