UPDATE! Anchor Man Makes Initial Response To Ridiculous, Sparkly Critic

Well! This is a nice surprise!

Yesterday (here and here), your equine public servant got her gorgeous, combable tail all ruffled by the either terrible or outright corrupt "journalism" displayed by WUSA 9 News, the DC CBS affiliate.

This morning I received a response from anchorman Mike Walter, who writes:
I'm trying to track down information on your earlier missive. I have to admit I let you down, I should have asked more questions about the story. It was a late add to the show. I know the news director is taking your earlier email seriously and is also asking lots of questions about the copy story.

Best Regards,

Mike Walter
Anchor/Reporter
WUSA-TV 9
I'm very impressed by Mr. Walter's response. Updates as warrented! Let this be a lesson: When you see something wrong, don't be afraid to say, "That's wrong," even if your body is pink and is adorned with fine, multicolored glitter.

I am surprised and pleased with the mia culpa from Mr. Walter.

Here is the important question. Will they say nothing more about it, or will they do a second report that goes something like "We recently reported about bovineunite.com (pictures of bu.c) It turns out that bu.c is a viral marketing campaign designed to create a buzz about (this company's product). bu.c is not the first website to have done this kind of campaign... blah blah blah more free ads for bu.c
