Human Events on the Politico

Jed Babbin at Human Events has written a nice piece detailing the journalistic "malfeasance" (as Fred termed it) in their incorrect piece predicting Fred's leaving the race and endorsing McCain.

All evidence points to the Politico story being the result of a dirty trick. As Bob Novak reports today the rumors of Thompson’s supposed plan to drop out after Iowa were apparently being pushed by Mitt Romney’s campaign. One political consultant who appears on the news as unaffiliated with any campaign was apparently at the center of the trick. His involvement is something we are investigating. Why isn’t anyone else tracking him down? Who was he working for, and how? Do any of the grand guardians of journalism even care? Perhaps after today they will.
