Michelle Malkin Apologizes for Lying About Kerry * Some of you may know Malkin lied last week that Kerry was "spurned by the troops in Iraq" when the opposite was true. he got a very friendly response. Posted by: Matt Ortega \| Saturday, January 6, 2007 \| 9:13 pm MST Filed: Michelle Malkin Print This Post/PageE-Mail This Post/Page Michelle Malkin apologized for her inaccurate portrayal of Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) as spurned by U.S. forces in a recent photo publicized. After TPM Muckraker wrongly accused milbloggers and conservative bloggers of faking the photo, TPM Cafe’s Greg Sargent published a heavy-breathing investigative report on the context of the photo: …it turns out that Kerry was at that table to conduct an off-the-record breakfast discussion with two reporters, so there would have been no reason whatsover for troops to be sitting with them. In fact, Kerry and the reporters even sought out empty seats, I’m told.The two reporters who met with Kerry that morning are Marc Santora of The New York Times and Mark Danner of The New York Review, The New Yorker and other publications. Both Santora and Danner confimed to me that they met with Kerry — on the morning of Dec. 17, according to Kerry’s office and to Danner. (The person who posted the photo also confirmed that it was taken that morning.) Danner confirmed to me that he’s the guy with his back to the camera, saying his jacket and the back of his head looked the same as in the photo. He added that his position in relation to Kerry was the same as the photo showed. And here’s what Danner had to say to me about the empty seats: “If there were empty seats it’s because we sought them out. We wanted an empty table so we could talk. It’s that simple.” In this particular instance, it appears, Kerry was not spurned by the troops. I stand corrected and apologize for the error. However, Malkin has yet refused to apologize for spearheading an attack on the Associated Press’ credibility surrounding Police Captain Jamil Hussein. For weeks, conservative bloggers questioned the credibility of an AP story on six Sunnis being burned alive and Iraqi soldiers standing by doing nothing. In the article, Capt. Hussein was the AP’s source.It turns out Capt. Hussein does exist and he faces imprisonment for speaking to the media. Sadly, No!’s Brad R. writes about Malkin’s “deafening silence.” TRex, at Firedoglake, declares Michelle Malkin’s credibility “R.I.P.”
