Check out this correction that Politico had to make to one of it's typically slanted articles. Every single point the author was trying to make had to be corrected, but they left the article up for some reason Roll Eyes :

And you know the correction wasn't front page with a click bait title on it like the original article - so few will actually see it...

The 'correction' could be a standalone article on it's own!

Everything the nutjob was trying to peddle was proven false, there is no 'there' there.

Exactly. That should be be called a rewrite rather than a correction.

In this neck of the woods, Koch Industries is appreciated. Well run, well respected companies!

Can't say the same about Politico.

Certainly isn't an apology. Perhaps Politico can call it a "clarification". Roll Eyes

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Good luck to her! Good company to work with.

I have lived her since 1979 - It's been a great place to live and raise a couple of great kids, IMO. FYI, I don't work for Koch but know many that do.
