They dont want to look like they screwed up. Well...not only them, but the government that they support and are supported by.


The problem is there's no way to correct themselves since they never reported it in the first place. It appeared in The Washington Post and to a lesser extent I'm told in Newsweek, but why has it gone completely ignored in other venues? it's one thing to misrepresent a story or to report it in limited contexts, but to completely ignore something with implications this large isn't just bad form, it's criminal.
