Broadcast reporters don’t do corrections

Last week I suggested that both NBC’s David Gregory and CNN’s Candy Crowley correct a blatant lie that Obama chief of staff Jacob Lew made on their respective Sunday shows. Lew knowingly lied when he claimed that it takes 60 votes to pass a budget in the Senate. Both Gregory and Crowley—both longtime Washington correspondents—knew better, but allowed it to pass.

Neither Crowley, nor Gregory corrected Lew’s lie on air.
