A Correction That’s Fit to Print

A few months back, Breitbart celebrated a New York Times correction about supposed racism in the Tea Party. Well, the other day it happened again; my friend D.A. King, a one-man immigration-control movement in Georgia, got this correction appended to an article that quoted him:

An earlier version of this article misstated D.A. King’s position on immigration. He is an opponent of illegal immigration; he is not “anti-immigration.” The article also described Arizona’s recently enacted immigration law as anti-immigrant rather than an attempt to crack down on illegal immigrants.

Not bad. Though the piece still shows its bias; the American Immigration Council is described as “a policy group in Washington,” which is true as far as it goes. But readers might have wanted to know that the group is also an organ of the pro-amnesty and anti-enforcement American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Incidentally, the subject of the news story is that Georgia has effectively banned illegal aliens from five state colleges. Most states deny illegal-alien college students in-state tuition discounts, but South Carolina’s the only other state to deny them access to the numerically limited, highly coveted, and massively subsidized slots at state universities. (I think Virginia debated such a move, but the effort failed in the legislature.)
