http://www.salon.com/2013/05/19/jon_karl_makes_things_worse/CNNs Howard Kurtz, who knows a little bit about being in the line of media fire for his own work, offered ABC Newss embattled Jon Karl the chance to defend himself on Reliable Sources Sunday. Karl, of course, is in hot water because his scoop revealing that the White House tampered with Benghazi talking points relied on doctored email leaked by House Republican sources. Thats not my charge, by the way: CBSs Major Garrett reported Friday that House GOP staffers peddled the doctored email to him and other reporters.
Karl didnt appear on CNN, but he gave Kurtz a statement which is brazen and baffling.
Clearly, I regret the email was quoted incorrectly and I regret that its become a distraction from the story, which still entirely stands. I should have been clearer about the attribution. We updated our story immediately.
-Jonathan Karl, ABC News Chief White House Correspondent

Excuse me, the story still entirely stands? Is he creating one of those alternate realities KKKarl Rove is so fond of?
I thought he may have been burned by his source. Now, I am curious if this was a deliberate act.

What people suspected, based on his curriculum vitae, they now KNOW for a fact.
That won't be good for him, long term. He's not quite as toxic as Judith Miller...but close.

He should never be employed again, except as a horse manure shoveler. He certainly has the experience for that job.
