LAT is Sorry
That The Smoking Gun did its job
 

sabatino.jpg Here's the Los Angeles Times' apology to Sean Combs for fingering him as involved in a 1994 assault on Tupac Shakur — an allegation made based on fake FBI documents journalist Chuck Philips received from con man James Sabatino. "In relying on documents that I now believe were fake, I failed to do my job," said Philips in a statement. Interestingly, Philips is "an acquaintance" of Smoking Gun editor Bill Bastone, who helped expose the fraud. Says the LAT: "The two met not long ago for lunch, discussing their mutual passion for investigative reporting and other matters." The apology appeared on today's front page, below the fold.
