[...] I don’t know what the story is here but for a major paper to be dropping facts and rewording passages, in a bombshell story no less, without noting it is disgraceful but not surprising. As we learned during Jamilgate, the AP pulls this crap as a matter of official policy (”For corrections on live, online stories, we overwrite the previous version. We send separate corrective stories online as warranted.”) and there’s at least one notorious instance of it happening within the very bowels of the bible of the journalism industry. Exit question: What gives? [...]

[...] I’m kidding, of course. Twenty-four hours after my post and damn near two and a half days after the boss’s Post column went live, not a word about HA’s Hurriya report has yet to grace their foul, foul site. No surprise there, either. When some dastardly villain hacked into E&P’s server this summer and rewrote one of Greg Mitchell’s old columns — coincidentally at the very moment he was taking heat for that column from the blogosphere — E&P responded first by ignoring the matter and then by ignoring it some more. That’s how “the bible of the news industry” responds when confronted with embarrassing or inconvenient revelations, you see: they simply clam up and pretend they didn’t happen. Just like they’re doing now. [...]

I’ve also noticed a recent trend in regards to Archive.org’s Wayback Machine Internet Archive. It seems that many of the MSM News sites are no longer being archived at all. This is disturbing because news articles can be altered or changed without any independant accountability or historical record.

Quite a few news sites have altered their robots.txt files within the last year in so that archive.org won’t index their articles.

Accountability will become non-existant from the Press.

Yeah, I was in Chicago from Sunday the 20th to Wednesday the 23rd. (I live in Monroe North Carolina) I didn’t have access to a computer while I was there. Then it took me a day or so to catch up at work (I own Tumbleweeds Bar and Grill in Monroe, hey, it’s a plug just in case anyone who reads this lives in the area :)) Anyway, that’s why I’m a day or two behind, still seems like I am.

But I can gurantee that Mitchell had wrote “him” and “He” in the original, or at least the version that I read. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been prompted to send the email. I’m not exactly one to email these people.

I know it’s probably not important but I read it from your link here on August 24th.

Well, it is important. We’re trying to figure out when — and if — he added the stuff about Zombie after the fact. Do you remember when you might have read my post and followed the link?

And why did you wait a day to e-mail him about Zombie?

[...] The exposure of Greg Mitchell ,of Editor and Pubslisher, as a creepy liar has been ongoing . Confederate Yankee has turned up even more sliminess from Mitchell: he admitted faking the news as a cub reporter. From there it now gets even slimier. Dan Riehl and Allahpundit discover that Mitchell has gone back and changed his articles in the E&P archives. And the Blogosphere goes wild with calls for Mitchell’s resignation at this unethical behavior. And in chasing that angle they’ve missed the point.Greg Mitchell, at the age of 19 (or 21 depending on when they actually turned off the water at the falls) had a severe moral failure. He lied in the performance of his job. Today he is defending the very same behavior in the media. What are a few lies in the big scheme of things? And he blames his own failure on youthful indiscretion, what’s a little slip up in teh big scheme of things.In 1967 (or 1969) young men that same age were commanding other young men and a youthful indiscretion might cause people to die. When I was 19 I was carrying an M-16, when I was 21 I was commanding an infantry platoon. Youthful indiscretions might have caused people to die. And that is why people like me, bloggers like me, take the concept of Honor so seriously. And why people like Greg Mitchell treat it like bagatelle. [...]

I know it’s probably not important but I read it from your link here on August 24th. That’s what prompted me to email the guy. This part in particular is the sentence in question

Does this stop her? Alas, no. She goes on to assert that “all signs” point to a “clumsy hoax,”

He said, Does this stop him?, no. He goes on to assert that “all signs” point to a “clumsy hoax.”

Its one of the least best kept secrets that Zombie is a girl. Actually if you’re not a regular reader and I mean every single thread reader you probably wouldn’t know this. I can only remember it being revealed once about a week or two ago that Zombie is a girl. Geez, now I feel like I’m “outing” her.

Allah, I believe that article has been rewritten again. In the first draft Mitchell calls Zombie “him,” I emailed him and said “Oh, and another thing dumbass Zombie is a girl.”

Allah swearing on Bibles? Yeah, like I’m gonna buy that.

Greg Mitchell is a goon. Dan Riehl is right. He’s got to quit or be fired. You can’t have a schlep like this reporting, let alone running your publication. Enjoy your retirement, Greg!
