Blogger HitMan alleges Nashville’s Channel 4 reporter Nancy Amons intentionally misled the public:

Did Amons make a mistake? Did her subject sell her a bill of goods? Did Amons simply misunderstand the situation?

No, sir. Multiple sources inform me that Amons was told numerous times by officials from TennCare and Human Services that this man had not been disenrolled, and she chose to run her own version of events.

In other words, Nancy Amons intentionally misled the public.

To make matters worse, the state contacted Channel 4 and demanded that they correct their erroneous report. As of the last that I heard, the station had refused to run an on-air correction because “it would look bad”; however, it did add a tepid two-line “clarification” to the end of the on-line text version of the story.

Here’s the first post and here’s the second with what he says are emails from the parties involved.

It wouldn’t surprise me but it’d be more convincing if he posted the full email headers, but that’s just me.
