WHITE HOUSE REQUESTS NYT TO CHANGE HEADLINE OVER CIA INTERROGATION TAPE DESTRUCTION STORY
December 20th 2007 21:27
Politico reports that the New York Times has changed the subheadline in Wednesday’s front-page story on the CIA’s destruction of secret interrogation tapes, following a formal request by the White House.
The correction has already been made online, and there will be a print correction in the paper, according to a Times representative.
On Wednesday, White House press secretary Dana Perino said in a statement that the Times subheadline, ‘White House Role Was Wider Than It Said’ was inaccurate.
“The New York Times inference that there is an effort to mislead in this matter is pernicious and troubling, and we are formally requesting that New York Times correct the subheadline of this story,” Perino said.
