Ny Times Credibility Lacking

March 23, 2006

The New York Times today admitted to a serious error in a story.This is the second time in less that 7 days that they have had to retract a story.

On Saturday it said it had misidentified a man featured as the “hooded inmate” picture from the prison Abu Ghraib in Iraq. Today it discloses that a woman it profiled on March 8 is not, in fact, a victim of Hurricane Katrina–and was arrested for fraud and grand larceny yesterday.

They buried the retraction both times.
