NY Times responds to Gunwalker -- with a hit piece on Rep. Issa
A Businessman in Congress Helps His District and Himself..
The Times article was quickly taken apart by Issa's office. The story claims property had appreciated, according to tax records, when the records show its appreciation as zero. An investment that supposedly sold at over a thousand percent profit actually sold at a substantial loss.
The source of the errors? The Times stole the story from a progressive/left blog post.

...don't worry, I'm not holding my breath.

The Times is changing... their editors would think that is a grammar error too...
No fact-checking, just spin...
