Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft mockingly claims to be “relie[ved]” by the Seattle Times' correction to last week's report that “A rock was thrown through the window of [Rep. Steve] Driehaus' [D-OH] Cincinnati office.” He sarcastically provides the following description:
The Seattle Times reported Thursday on another horrible political attack. TheTimes claimed that liberal democrat Rep. Steve Driehaus had a rock thrown though his office window:
Protesters have been demonstrating at Driehaus' Ohio home, said Tim Mulvey, a spokesman for the anti-abortion Democrat who joined Stupak in voting for the health bill. A rock was thrown through the window of Driehaus' Cincinnati office Sunday, and a death threat was phoned in to his Washington office a day later, Mulvey said.
“It's getting out of hand,” Mulvey said.
As Glenn Reynolds noted... Rep. Driehaus' office is in the Carew Tower in Cincinnati.
Hoft, however, has no comment on the part of the correction where the Times says that they didn't make up a rock getting thrown through the window of a Democratic office, they just got the office wrong:
This story, published Wednesday, March 24, 2010, was corrected Friday, March 26, 2010. The prior version said a rock was thrown through the window of Ohio Democratic Rep. Steve Driehaus' Cincinnati office Sunday. Bloomberg News attributed the statement to Driehaus' spokesman Tim Mulvey. Mulvey said Friday that he was misquoted. A rock was thrown through the window of Hamilton County Democratic Party headquarters in Cincinnati, Mulvey said.
This is, of course, exactly what I said had probably happened last week when the right-wing blogosphere claimed the Times story was an example of liberal media bias. And now, bizarrely, once it's pointed out that there was a “horrible political attack” but the Times had the details wrong, they're declaring victory.
