Dave Winer: Linking to incorrect information

Dave Winer oft waxes on about needing media to be checking facts. Today, however, he links a CBS News story that got it wrong. In explaining the dust-up between Adam Curry and Dave Winer it says that Curry's poor choice in editing Wikipedia it says "at the same time pumping up his own role."

Not actually. The rest of what they say is true, Curry edited out someone else's contribution. He did not make edits to "pumping up" his own role. The take-away seems to be - facts matter as long as they support Winer. If they don't then it is just fine to play fast and loose and Winer will jump on the band flame wagon.
