Fact-checking the Times

Times watcher Patterico has been making a case that the L.A. Times erred when it reported last week on the front page that Paul Bremer left Iraq without giving a farewell address. As Patterico notes, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Bremer in fact made a short speech before abruptly leaving the country. Patterico has been seeking satisfaction through the Times Reader Representative, so far without success.

Update: Corrected by the Times on July 8.
