Update 1/30: CBS News updated the link text highlighted below.
We thank them for their diligence.
***
Thanks to the sterling work of Patterico, CBS has corrected numerous errors in their coverage of James O’Keefe’s latest investigation. Before: here. After: here and here. Still, CBS has thus far failed to correct a link alledging O’Keefe and the the other three conservative activists are being suspected of bugging. A screenshot taken today just after 4pm PST:
There are no allegations of any bugging plot in the FBI affidavit, and a law enforcement official has conceded that the four men were not attempting to wiretap or intercept calls. Furthermore, legal representation for the accused has gone on record stating there were no intentions to bug phones in the Senator’s office.
We kindly ask you to issue a correction/retraction to the story.
We have been/will be making similar requests of other news sources to correct similar errors. Some, such as the Washington Post, Talking Points Memo, MSNBC’s David Shuster, and CBS News have already have posted corrections or retractions.

CBS?
You mean the old Tiffany Network where Walter Cronkite held court every night is still broadcasting news? I didn't know that. Who is the anchor now, Dan Rather still there, hanging onto the light poles during the hurricanes?
You really think they will admit to a mistake?
The "Drive by Media" will never "get it". They are looking to the great Obamao to rescue "bail out" them.
Wow. CBS messed up. How is that possible?
Why?
Is CBS blathering about Breitbart?
Do you mean figuratively, or literally?
I'd love to see James O'Keefe in the CBS Executive Office…………..
figuratively –
bugging them to set the record straight
So ah, wha hoppen to all the gloating trolls?
This should be fixed tomorrow. A CBS Politics Editor wrote me to explain: "That headline should have updated when we updated the story it links to. I don't know why it didn't and can't fix it from here, but I will look into it tomorrow."
I am confident this will be fixed tomorrow.
[...] CBS News [...]
Retracto is bugging CBS.
To some, progress comes slowly. As others retract or correct, these others will soon follow.

Pathetic…….Clearly after reviewing the docs, the Lame Stream Media idiots have clearly made yet another mistake! Mistake or an attempt to smear? My vote is on the latter.
Hey lame stream idiots: It's called activism remember? Or maybe you don't remember since your form of activism is attacking authority, and blowing S$!T UP! (i.e. Democrap Convention 1968, Bill Ayers/Weather Underground)
Probably the same thing that happened to all the arrogant, mouthy, Democrat politicians, who were making all demeaning accusations and comments about the Americans, who had a difference of opinion. After Scott Brown's election, they have quietly faded into the background.

My name is Retracto. I'm an alpaca. If you don't submit a proper correction, I'll take a large crap in your newsroom.
