Airbrushing the Politburo

“Not convicted” is very different from “acquitted”.

In fact the Mickster got his facts dead wrong in the direct quote. Charges were not pursued against seven of the 18–but the 11 who went to trial were all convicted.

There have been no acquittals.

One finds it hard to escape the conclusion that Postmedia News rewrote their story to remove Mickey I.’s glaring error of fact–at the request of his handlers?

What kind of journalism might that be?
