That was the odd conclusion over at Mediaite this week. It came in the wake of the Times' overdue corrections regarding the pimp hoax story.

From Mediaite [emphasis added]:

The correction may be a case of too little, too late considering ACORN was officially shuttered yesterday. That said, I suspect, whether they admit it or not, the Times will be taking Breitbart a tad more seriously from here on out.

But that's the opposite of logical since Breitbart, under pressure from Media Matters and The Brad Blog, had to concede that he didn't even know what was on the ACORN tapes when he released them. Breitbart championed the tapes and launched them into the media world, but when pressed about why he lied about the pimp hoax, Breitbart belatedly claimed he'd been duped and didn't even know what was on the tapes.

Against that backdrop, the Times should take him more seriously from here on out?
