LA Times falsely claimed that, during speech, Obama "offered a different account" of what he had heard Wright say

SUMMARY: In an article on Sen. Barack Obama's speech on race and the controversy surrounding remarks by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the Los Angeles Times reported that prior to the speech, "Obama had said that when he sat in the pews at Trinity United Church of Christ, he had not heard Wright make some of his more controversial statements," and that during the speech, "Obama offered a different account." But Obama did not change his account with respect to the specific statements "that are the cause of this controversy," but said in the speech that he had heard Wright "make remarks that could be considered controversial."
