Deborah Howell, who as ombudsman at The Washington Post, has the job of dealing with complaints made about the reporting in the newspaper. Earlier in the year, she created controversy by essentially repeating a false GOP talking point: she claimed that disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff "had made substantial campaign contributions to both major parties." Later Howell repeated that Abramoff had directed his clients to donate to both parties (against all evidence), but this time referred to her original statement as a mistake and agreed that the Abramoff scandal is "not a bipartisan scandal; it's a Republican scandal."
