I Hereby Retract My Retraction of My Failure to Issue a Retraction

You gotta love those Newsweek editors. They can’t keep their story straight from one second to the next.

Exhibit 1 is from today’s Washington Post:

Newsweek Editor Mark Whitaker said he thought the magazine had already “retracted what we think we may have gotten wrong” in an editor’s note published Sunday and in media interviews. “We’ve called it an error,” he said. “We’ve called it a mistake.”

Exhibit 2 is from yesterday’s New York Times:

Mr. Whitaker said in an interview later: “We’re not retracting anything. We don’t know what the ultimate facts are.”

Emphasis added for comic effect.

  1. At last, the entire MSM is imploding into their own hypocrisy. Do they know how stupid they sound? They can’t hear themselves.
