NYT Changes Subhead After Perino's Bitching

After the White House released a statement lambasting the New York Times for a freaking sub-headline, the NYT has decided to play the bigger man by changing it online and issuing a correction. The controversial headline -- "White House Role Was Wider Than It Said" -- has been replaced with "Bush Lawyers Discussed Fate of Tapes." As the Times ' DC editor told Politico , however, "If they want to quibble with the deck, they have a legitimate point. But nobody is raising any questions with what the story is about, and what the story said." Indeed, and now probably twice as many people have read the damning story. So Dana Perino continues to be a dumbshit, and the world is as it was. [ Politico ]
