KEVIN MCCULLOUGH HAS RETRACTED his Ed Asner interview report. Scroll to the bottom to see the new report of what Asner said, which is rather different from McCullough’s original report — no longer does the question ask Asner about portraying someone he’d respects, and Asner’s answer shows his awareness of Stalin’s murders. It’s hard for me to understand how McCullough could have made this mistake, but I’m glad he’s corrected it.

I’ve posted a correction over at GlennReynolds.com, too, since I also wrote about the Asner issue there.

UPDATE: Here’s McCullough’s blog retraction, too. McCullough has taken his medicine admirably.
