Howard Kurtz notices the Los Angeles Times correcting a correction: “An article in Saturday’s Section A about the resignation of CNN executive Eason Jordan said that in an April 2003 opinion piece in the New York Times, Jordan wrote that he did not allow his network to report all it had learned ‘during the intense early days of combat in Iraq, for fear that releasing certain confidential information would put lives in jeopardy.’ Jordan’s essay was about his network’s coverage in the years and months preceding the war. A correction Tuesday erroneously said his essay referred also to his network’s coverage during the early days of the war.”
