AZ-05: GOP Rep. Hayworth Gets Apology From Times
Rep. J.D. Hayworth's efforts to get the Times' press credentials revoked may not have paid off, but he just won a smaller battle against the paper. Today, under pressure from Hayworth, the paper printed a correction to a graphic linking the congressman to lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Hayworth is being clobbered by Dem challenger Harry Mitchell for his Abramoff ties, so he's particularly sensitive on the matter. Under Hayworth's picture, the Times' erroneously wrote that Hayworth took money from Abramoff's gambling cruise-ship company. That, the paper corrected. But the Times also reported that Hayworth took contributions from Abramoff's associates and tribal clients. That part was accurate -- and still stands.
