Media Matters - Dobbs falsely identified convicted former Republican Rep. Janklow as a Democrat

I wonder if Lou will make this correction.   If you are a main stream talking head, that millions of people believe when you speak, and you make a mistake you should admit to it right away and move on.  If he tries to cover it up I'll question his integrity.

During the July 31 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, host Lou Dobbs claimed, "Well, over the past 50 years, members of Congress have been convicted of at least 16 different felonies, including fraud, conspiracy, racketeering, extortion, drug possession. One member was even convicted of manslaughter." Dobbs continued, "Former Congressman Bill Janklow, a Democrat from South Dakota, was convicted of striking and killing a motorcyclist with his car in 2003. He was sentenced to 100 days in prison." In fact, Janklow was a Republican member of the House of Representatives who resigned from Congress after being convicted of manslaughter.
