It’s rare to see a factual corrections on a right wing blog these days so I think it’s worth acknowledging Pajamas Media update on the article blaming Obama for the Russian spies arrested today….

Update no. 2: 7:45 pm, EST.

Finally, the indictment notes that these spies had started their operation in the 1990s, which means that this took place way before the current administration was in office, although the government finally moved in on them this past year. So the SVR, the foreign intelligence successor to the KGB, put this network together a long time ago — and its work carried through a few of the recent Democratic and Republican administrations. So I would now modify my comment about how the SVR saw an opportunity once Obama was elected — whomever is president, they sought to spy on the United States, just as in the good old days of the Cold War.

The only shame is waiting for someone else to check the basic facts before issuing a correction. I have little doubt that if the basic error had not been pointed out to them they would not have corrected it themselves.
Thanks for the basic honesty but how about not being so sloppy in the future? It would really help in restoring the deplorable credibility of wingnut blogs.
