Congresswomen Sue "HELL NO"Myrick update

If you missed my first post on Congresswomen Myrick, you can read it here before reading this update.

I sent the email to Myrick and this morning left another VM with her press secretary, Andy Polk.

I’ve heard nothing back.

Believe it or not, Myrick's letter with its "selling American ports" error is still up uncorrected at her Internet site.

Something I didn't say in Saturday's post: Myrick's letter is right beside a nice photo of her and President Bush side-by-side and smiling at the camera.

I'm sending an email to Raleigh N&O exec editor for news Melanie Sill asking whether or not The N&O knew when it ran a photo copy of Myrick's letter on page one that it contained the "selling" error. The N&O made no mention of the error

If you read The N&O, you know the question’s not impertinent.

The paper has run a number of false stories lately, including a front-pager reporting a group of state employees had been "caught cheating." The N&O was forced to print a correction two days later.
