Correction

The statistics included in graphics that Janet Murguía presented on Lou Dobbs’ program, February 4, 2008, were not accurately reproduced from the materials sent to CNN in late January by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR).  NCLR regrets the error, which in one case overstated the appearance of hate groups on CNN and, in other cases, understated it.  The corrected graphics are available below.

The figures used in NCLR’s study of spokespeople from hate groups and extremist organizations appearing on network cable news programming and on CNN should have been stated as follows:

• Chris Simcox has appeared on Lou Dobbs Tonight three (3) times and at least seven (7) times on CNN. (The graphic cited four (4) and seven (7) appearances, respectively.)
• Jim Gilchrist has appeared on Lou Dobbs Tonight five (5) times and at least 12 times on CNN.  (The graphic cited eight (8) and 27 appearances, respectively.)
• Dan Stein has appeared on Lou Dobbs Tonight seven (7) times and at least 18 times on CNN.  (The graphic cited six (6) and 14 appearances, respectively.)
