In a Wash Post article today, @kenvogel is quoted as saying “Not a single fact in either story has been successfully challenged," referring to his May 1 NYT article and earlier one in Politico. But that's not correct. The 1st paragraph has a big mistake--> washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
@kenvogel Vogel says Biden traveled to Kyiv in March and demanded action. But he never went to Ukraine in March; it was in December. The timeline is important because a Dec-March frame shows it was a diplomatic process, not a shakedown as portrayed by Trumpland, using Vogel's report
@kenvogel Yet the NYT has refused to correct this significant mistake, so other news organizations keep repeating it. Surely a "newspaper of record" should want to acknowledge this error, given the high stakes of the impeachment inquiry. It's a mystery why a correction has not been made.
@kenvogel I should note that @gregmyre1 of @NPR and @GrahamDavidA of @TheAtlantic have also not corrected their articles. (Nor have others.) But the original error started with the May 1 article in The Times. Check the records: Biden never traveled to Ukraine in March.
@kenvogel @gregmyre1 @NPR @GrahamDavidA @TheAtlantic Our article detailing this significant factual mistake appeared six weeks ago and also appeared in the print edition of the Sunday Post. No one from the NYT has challenged our reporting. There is simply no excuse to falsely claim no one has caught an error in the May 1 article.
Addendum: the NYT has now corrected and updated the article

There’s a saying in journalism that the only dumb question is one not asked. I don’t normally do media criticism but I want help non-journalists understand why a potentially good scoop by the Washington Free Beacon could have been made better with an extra question asked…..
The reporter got an on-the-record statement from an agency spox that danced around the question of whether grants would be given for safe smoking kits that include crack pipes. The next logical step was to specifically ask if pipes were included….
The flack might have come back with a “yes.” Big story! Or maybe, when the flack checked with legal, the agency staff would have said, holy shit, the WFB is asking about pipes and they would have said no. Not quite as good a story but the logical follow-up question would be…

Trump today claimed the Clintons "took large amounts of furniture out of the White House." That's right -- but they returned 28K after a series of stories in The Washington Post by the late George Lardner Jr., a brilliant reporter, exposed it. Here's how it played out....
First, Clinton reported that he had retained $190,027 worth of gifts that he had received. .... washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
George started investigating and revealed $28,000 of the gifts were intended for the White House, not for the Clintons personally, based on documents he reviewed and interviews he conducted with donors. ... washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…

This is detailed at length in Robert Caro's Pulitzer Prize-winning book on Robert Moses, "The Power Broker." See especially pages 318-319: "He began to limit access by buses; he instructed Shapiro to build the bridges across his new parkways low -- too low for buses to pass."...
..."Bus trips therefore had to be made on local roads, making the trips discouraging long and arduous. For Negroes, who he considered inherently 'dirty,' there were further measures. Buses needed permits to enter state parks; buses chartered by Negro groups ...."
"...found it very difficult to obtain permits, especially to Moses's beloved Jones Beach; most were shunted off to parks many miles further on Long Island." There's much, much more. Easily one of the best nonfiction books ever written. amazon.com/Power-Broker-R…

The new C-SPAN poll of presidential historians is out! Always interesting to see how reputations rise and fall. In two decades, Ike shot up from #9 to #5 and stays there. Obama moves into the top ten. ....
Meanwhile, Woodrow Wilson has fallen from #6 to #13, and Polk had also dropped from #12 to #18. Bill Clinton had moved up from #21 in 2000 to #15 in 2017, but now slips back to #19. ....
No surprise that Trump makes his debut in the bottom five. The pathetic James Buchanan retains his lock on last place -- but Trump finds himself behind a guy who only served in office for a month before he died.
