Washington Post
Post ombud Deborah Howell's problems with Perry Bacon's story ("Foes Use Obama's Muslim Ties to Fuel Rumors About Him") "were that [Barack] Obama's connections to Islam are slender at best; that the rumors were old; and that convincing evidence of their falsity wasn't included in the story." She notes that hundreds of negative comments, e-mails and phone calls about the story came to the Post and that "only one e-mail to me was positive." || More editor/ombud columns:
