Retractions you can trust

Drudge reports that the New York Times is preparing to retract a story they ran last week about Steven Gottlieb, founder and president of TVT Records.

Times business reporter Lynette Holloway, writing in last Monday’s print edition, said that Gottlieb had lost control of the company. Turns out he hasn’t.

Drudge notes that Richard Friedman at Fox was all over the story on Friday. And, if lines like this are any guide, having some fun with it too.

This was in the New York Times so maybe people believed it.
