The L.A. Times Gets It Wrong Again

Last Thursday we reported on Paul Bremer’s inspirational farewell speech to the Iraqi people, as seen through the eyes of an Iraqi blogger. We also noted that the frequently-clueless Washington Post had denied that Bremer gave a farewell speech at all.
Now, Patrick Frey of Patterico has written us to point out that as recently as July 4, the Los Angeles Times went the Post one better, not only mis-reporting Bremer’s speech, but turning their own error into a major theme of the paper’s “news” report:

L. Paul Bremer III, the civilian administrator for Iraq, left without even giving a final speech to the country
