Fake good news.

Last week, Putz was gloating and media-bashing:

VIOLENT DEATHS IN IRAQ dropped dramatically in August. As I've said before, I think it's a mistake to make much of these short-term trends, but given all the press that bad news gets, it's at least worth mentioning them...What's disturbing is that the press tends to report short-term, and to emphasize bad news over good.

Actually, what's more disturbing is that Putz almost daily emphasizes the fake good news and spin about the war over the real bad news. Turns out, this story wasn't true at all.

It turns out the official toll of violent deaths in August was just revised upwards to 1535 from 550, tripling the total. Now, we’re depressingly used to hearing about deaths here, so much so that the numbers can be numbing. But this means that a much-publicized drop-off in violence in August – heralded by both the Iraqi government and the US military as a sign that a new security effort in Baghdad was working -- apparently didn’t exist.

Putz---do the right thing. Post a correction. Surely you'd be calling for the media to do the same.
