Why I Love Rachel Maddow | The LA Progressive

"What (Dr. Laura) Tyson didn’t disclose – but blogger David Sirota discovered – is that she is a director of Morgan Stanley which received $10-billion from the Treasury Dept. Nor, did Tyson happen to mention that she earns $350,000 from the bank in director’s fees and owns 79,000 shares in the company.

When Sirota informed (Rachel) Maddow of this oversight, she did something that few, if any, hosts on cable news would bother doing. She not only admitted the oversight, Maddow chastised herself for not doing a better job researching Tyson’s background and current business interests. And she didn’t just mumble a hasty “sorry,” Maddow detailed her mistake, aired a response from Tyson and then apologised to her audience."

Okay you media pukes, all 99% of you: THAT'S how to handle your oh-so-frequent mistakes.
