What?!?! You don't trust Big Media? The Associated Press has issued the following correction: In a Sept. 8 story regarding federal crime statistics, The Associated Press quoted comments from someone who identified himself as Ralph Myers of Stanford University and someone who identified himself as Bruce Fenmore of the Institute for Crime and Punishment in Chicago. In subsequent reporting prompted by questions about those identifications, AP was unable to confirm the existence of either individual or of the think tank. Stanford University says it has no record of a criminologist named Ralph Myers, and there is no phone listing or Web site for an institute by that name in Chicago. . . . [An AP spokeswoman] said that on Wednesday, AP's reporter received a telephone message from a person he identified by voice as the purported "Ralph Myers." On that recording--reviewed by AP editors--the voice said, "We're a little surprised at how easily we made it into your story." AP was unable to trace the origin of the call or the identity of the caller, and Tunney said AP's investigation is continuing. opinionjournal.com
