More on that WaPo Caption Mix-up

On Friday, The Washington Post’s Ombusdman ruled that a much blogged-about photo caption blooper was a "hoax." However, the tipster who sent the screenshot of Malcolm X with a caption about President Obama from the Post’s website is speaking up. They sent an email to Gawker.com that says:

Please don't use my name, but wanted to assure you that I didn't Photoshop or alter the screengrab I sent over. I don't even have Photoshop on my computer! Also, two co-workers saw my screen before I sent it.

I guess it could have been a glitch in IE or on the WaPo. I wanted to write though because I don't want you to lose credibility with your readers who think that you got duped. The WaPo is either covering their ass or it was an innocent glitch.

I'm sure this won't be the final word on the story.
