This week, late on Tuesday night, Reliable Sources host and Daily Beast contributor Howard Kurtz issued a correction for an interview he conducted with Rep. Darrell Issa for a story titled “Darrell Issa: The GOP’s New Top Cop,” published back in November.

As it turns out, Kurtz hadn’t spoken with Rep. Issa at all but, rather, with spokesperson Kurt Bardella.

Either not everybody at the Washington Post is on the same page about what “off the record” means exactly, or executive editor Marcus Brauchli is a liar: Did he or didn’t he know that the advertised salons would be off the record? That question and others have come to light after a letter from Brauchli to now-resigned Post marketing director Charles Pelton was sent to the Times by Pelton’s lawyer.
