Breitbart Criticizes Wrong Loretta Lynch
Source: Huffington Post
In a now-removed article criticizing Loretta Lynch, President Obama's nominee for attorney general, conservative news site Breitbart achieved two remarkable feats: it attacked the wrong Lynch, and issued one of the best correction notices of all time.
Breitbart alleged that Loretta Lynch, the New York federal prosecutor Obama has nominated, was a part of the defense team for former President Bill Clinton during the 1992 Whitewater scandal. She wasn't.
Breitbart cited a 1992 New York Times article that "reported that Lynch was one of the Clintons' Whitewater defense attorneys as well as a 'campaign aide.'" But the Loretta Lynch in the 1992 Times article is a California-based attorney and former California Public Utilities Commissioner, and not Obama's attorney general nominee, as Media Matters points out.

(10,597 posts)... when they can't find something derogatory on an Obama nominee. And in this instance, they probably knew that this Loretta Lynch was not the same person as the one in the NYTimes article, but hey, it won't be the first time.
Scratching the inside of his coffin? Nahhhh, he's just laying there in repose with a big smile upon his face.
