Newsmax Corrects Themselves on Fitzgerald

Newsmax corrects what they've said about Fitzgerald:

In his day job as U.S. Attorney for Chicago, Leakgate Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has prosecuted even more people associated with former Republican Gov. George Ryan than the 60 we noted yesterday.

The latest tally on Fitzgerald's GOP prosecutions comes from London's Financial Times, which noted on Saturday that his investigation into the Illinois GOP'er "has led to 79 arrests and 73 convictions."

But it's also true that Fitzgerald has done a better job going after Democrats than media reports we cited yesterday would indicate.

Fitzgerald's corruption probe into the contract award practices of the Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's Democratic administration, known as the "Hired Truck" scandal, have so far yielded 30 indictments and 23 convictions.

We are pleased that they've got the facts right on this one.We hope they saw our post yesterday and today's frontpage story from the Chicago-Sun Times.
