Independent and intellectual thoughts ranging from China, SEO, and other international topics

The fun really just doesn’t stop over at the Time Magazine with Joe Klein. It is finally nice to put the corruption of the Beltway Media into one great example. And it is not just Joe Klein, but sadly the Time Magazine and its editors for him, just read the following “correction” below that will appear tomorrow (found through Glenn Greenwald):
Editor & Publisher has obtained an advance copy of Klein’s correction, which will appear in Time’s print edition tomorrow:
Correction: I was wrong to write last week that the House Democratic version of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) would require a court approval of individual foreign surveillance targets. The bill does not explicitly say that. Republicans believe it can be interpreted that way, but Democrats don’t. To read the disputed section of the bill, go to time.com/fisa.
Read the correction twice and then out loud just so you can see how strange that sounds. Joe Klein was so factually wrong that his whole article was absolutely pointless. Joe Klein and the editors involved need to be put on leave and monitored for a long time for Time to really restore its credibility in journalism.
Here’s another way to look at it, if Joe Klein is the supposed “liberal” columnist, then I’m a radical.
And I’m very much the independent moderate.
