SCLM WP - Spot the errors


In a story about the Washington Post's investigation of Abramoff Deborah Howell shows she has no business being ombudsman. Either reporter Susan Schmidt lied to her and she didn't fact check or she inserted on her own Abramoff "made substantial campaign contributions to both major parties." In addition, she tries to buy off GOP criticism at the end by repeating the claim and then saying Democrats may yet be investigated. She does not support that claim. If you ignore the factual errors and the Dem slamming to score GOP points it should have been a good article.

Ask the Washington Post to remove Deborah Howell from the position of ombudsmen. There are many WP blogs you could post that on or they provide several ways of contacting them or posting on their site.
