(57,936 posts)the false information about the photograph to retract their statement and make a clear and effective effort to correct the record by publishing that retraction through a means and at a time and place that will receive the same broad coverage and viewership that the original incorrect information about the photo received.
The photographer should be interviewed on television about the photo and what he remembers about Bernie's leadership in the civil rights demonstration at Chigago. That would be the best way to correct the record in my view.
The doubts and lies cannot be allowed to stand. That would be very wrong in my opinion and would place the veracity and reliability of each of the news sources and journalists that spread this incorrect information in doubt.
