Received an email from Fact Check today regarding Obama Foreign Policy with Pakistan

I received this email from Fact Check.
Dear Subscriber:

Thanks for taking the time to message us about our Aug. 8 article. More than a dozen of you made similar comments, faulting us for our criticism of Barrack Obama's remarks about Pakistan in the AFL-CIO debate. Today we revised that article. We agree that we should have noted originally that Obama's Aug. 1 speech outlined diplomatic efforts toward Pakistan, even if he did not mention "working with Musharraf" in so many words. However, we remain convinced that the senator's AFL-CIO debate remarks amount to a rewriting of his Aug. 1 address, which gave a much tougher impression.

We think our revised article states our objections more clearly, and you can read it here:

Whether or not you agree with us on this point, I want you to know that we do read your comments, and value them.

1. So, they disagree with what he actually said, citing "what he really was
thinking"?

3. It's a shame that you have to perform a "check up" on the media so they will tell the truth!

4. Yes, sadly, you have to fact check the fact checkers!
