The impact of Media Matters: Blitzer recants on CNN

these folks perform an invaluable service and it's gratifying to see an honest and immediate response from someone like wolf blitzer rather than the bluster and stonewalling of an o'reilly...

CNN Situation Room anchor Wolf Blitzer responded to a December 15 Media Matters for America item during that day's program, acknowledging that he incorrectly stated the previous day that Vice President Dick Cheney "never said hard and fast ... that there was a meeting" between 9-11 ringleader Mohammed Atta and Iraqi intelligence operatives in Prague in 2001. As Media Matters noted, Cheney asserted the now-discredited claim without hedging or qualifying on numerous occasions.
