ABC News did say that. It wasn't true. And they didn't run it by the White House or anyone else in the administration.
Doesn't all that
violate basic rules of traditional journalism?
Yes. Your point would be?
Don't they have
editors to prevent that sort of thing?
I have no information on that.
It Seems That Fake
Email Wasn't Same as Real One
But didn't ABC
apologize for that when CNN exposed their "smoking gun" as neither a gun nor
smoking?
Not exactly. Unless you call what Jonathan Karl wrote, acknowledging that CNN published the correct email, an apology: "This helps fill out the portrait of the inter-agency deliberations that went into shaping the now-discredited talking points. Assuming, as appears to be the case based on time stamps, that this is a version of the same e-mail ABC News reported on last week, there are some differences."
Well that's true,
isn't it? Aren't there difference
between his fake email and CNN's real one?
Yes, and he ignores most of those differences -- for example, he doesn't mention that the original email says, "There is a ton of wrong information getting out into the public domain from Congress and people who are not particularly informed."
