Politico : Liberal groups defend Planned Parenthood....rewrite done to correct earlier erroneous characterizations

Politico puts out their story with the "exclusive" from the left wing groups banding together to save public funding for Planned Parenthood.  What a shock that they got the exclusive....but wait the first print was put out at 11:44 and then five hours later they did a re write with this little line at the end.
"This story has been updated. An earlier version of this story incorrectly characterized what was portrayed in one of the Live Action videos."

As in no fact checking and taking the talking points from PP. I suspect they may need to do another rewrite as they parse their words to give  the spin the way they need to see it. As the umpire said, I don't call them as I see them. I see them as I call them. 
"Today, 27 progressive groups sent a letter to congress, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, that calls for politicians to protect funding for Planned Parenthood. The letter labels the hidden-camera videos as a “digital witch hunt.”
"The first video released Monday involves two activists, allegedly posing as sex traffickers, seeking advice on how to get STD testing, birth control and abortions for 14- and 15-year-old girls at a Planned Parenthood clinic in New Jersey. A clinic employee seemingly advises them on how to skirt reporting requirements and provides a phone number of another clinic where girls 14 and under can more easily obtain abortions. "
"The video was shot by 22-year-old Rose," Nope. She was asked this question in an interview on TV and stated she did not appear in the video and of course one of the two actors did the shooting. Small point but once again......facts, facts, facts.

If you watch the videos, there is not allegedly or seemingly about it. You can see with your own eyes and hear it with your ears. That is why citizen journalism is so great. None of the hey they misquoted me. And PP embarrasses themselves by saying the heavily edited versions only to have the full versions confirm their outrageous behavior.
