Maybe this will be cleared up soon. The question: Is Congressman Kendrick Meek endorsing Hillary Clinton? In Friday's Miami Herald we who dug well back in the Metro section saw that the rising national figure from District 17 was for Clinton. On rereading, a careful editor might question the verb tenses. OK, did this happen? Or will it happen? And who said it?
On Saturday we who dug equally far back into the paper learned that it hasn't happened. Headline: "Meek says he has not endorsed Clinton." The article also added some attribution notes to the previous day's article, saying its news had come from "sources close to the campaigns of Clinton and rival Barack Obama." No mention of Meek among the sources for Meek's choice? Uh oh.
But all's OK, as Saturday's story concludes: "Meek told the Miami Herald Friday that the newspaper did not need to correct its story." All right.
Friday's story.
Saturday's story.
