Checkpoint Charlie

For more follow up on the Sykes / Miranda / Belling controversy, where else would you go but to the source? Charlie Sykes has a complete round-up on what bloggers are saying about his misstatement concerning Robert Miranda and his subsequent correction. It is followed close behind by a summary of what frequent Sykes tv show panelist and blogger Jessica McBride has to say about the Journal Sentinel's coverage.

Sykes is apparently waiving the Miranda right to be be silent on the issue. Good for him, and all the bloggers who are commenting appropriately on this mess.

Sykes made an error, made a good faith effort to pull the errant blog posting, and after thorough research has issued a correction. To pursue the matter further is either an act of complete narcissism or an act of such pettiness its doing more harm to Miranda's reputation than any misstatement on the part of Charlie Sykes.
