Orange County Register correction: Offit vs Attkisson

[Guest guest]

*/Correction for April 18/*

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/correction-296910-dated-entitled.html

An OC Register article dated Aug. 4, 2008 entitled " Dr. Offit

Responds " contained several disparaging statements that Dr. Offit of

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia made about CBS News Investigative

Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson and her report. Upon further review, it

appears that a number of Dr. Offit's statements, as quoted in the OC

Register article, were unsubstantiated and/or false. Attkisson had

previously reported on the vaccine industry ties of Dr. Offit and others

in a CBS Evening News report " How Independent Are Vaccine Defenders? "

excerpt:

Aside from this new episode... Offit [erred] in one of his books about

JB Handley, the founder of Generation Rescue. Handley sued him, and

Offit was forced to correct his book, write Handley a letter of apology

<http://www.rescuepost.com/files/offit-letter1.pdf> and acknowledgement,

and donate money to McCarthy's second-favorite (behind GR!)

charity at UCLA.
