On Friday, the Washington Post ran this story about Gov. Sarah Palin’s speech before a brigade of soldiers bound for Iraq — at least, that link is to the story that is on the Post‘s web page. But this is not the story as it originally appeared. As Bill Kristol notes here, the second paragraph of the story was rewritten — and an entire sentence replaced — to fix a gross error that dramatically distorted what Palin had said. Most egregiously, there is no indication on the web-version of the story that it was corrected, not even a note at the end of the piece. Whatever one thinks of the Post‘s reporting here, it should at least acknowledge that it changed the story’s text to fix an error. If we bloggers are expected to disclose substantive revisions to our blog posts, shouldn’t the MSM be held to the same standard?
