New York Times Halfway Corrects Wal-Mart Smear
Michelle Malkin has the story.
Here’s the correction.
Here’s what the Business & Media Institute notes that the Times left out:
New York Times reporters Michael Barbaro and Stephanie Strom took a shot at Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) with a September 8 article slamming conservative think tanks for receiving money from the Walton family.
Yet an August 2006 review of IRS records shows that Wal-Mart gives nearly 300 times as much money to liberal think tanks as it does to conservative ones. Barbaro himself also reported that labor unions in 2005 gave about the same amount in one year to one liberal think tank.

UPDATE: Line of the day — Taranto at Best of the Web refers to the New York Times as “a correctional institution.“
