Retraction Request: Roger Ebert

**Update 2/11, 11:54 PM PST: Ebert thus far refusing to retract.**

As Big Hollywood readers know, Roger Ebert’s foray into the political realm via twitter had a major setback this week: articles from Pam Meister and John Nolte prompted him to tweet he would suspend usage of the word “teabagger.” Onward and upward! Or not…

Two hours ago from the time this post was written, Ebert tweeted:

The link is to an article which was cross-posted at the Huffington Post. Problem is, the Huffington Post version of the article had been previously corrected:

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post misstated the color of a bracelet Sarah Palin wore during a Tea Party appearance. Palin’s bracelet was not black, as was reported by several news outlets, and is not meant to memorialize her son Track Palin, but rather to honor his service, according to Herobracelets.org.

Professor Ebert spread misinformation to impugn Sarah Palin after it had been debunked at, of all sites, the Huffington Post. We ask him to publicly retract this statement via twitter.
