Journamalism at NPR

I heard the story today about Hillary Clinton going to a restaurant in in Iowa, and having her picture taken with a waitress, but not leaving a tip on NPR.

The story was untrue, the campaign says that they paid $157, and left a $100 tip, and it was confirmed by the restaurant manager.

So much for Journalism, at least the journalism of David Greene, at NPR.

Update, NPR has a correction:

Editor's Note: Since this story aired, Hillary Clinton's campaign contacted NPR to say that the campaign paid Maid-Rite a bill for $157 the day of Clinton's visit and left $100 in tip money. NPR contacted Maid-Rite manager Brad Crawford, who confirmed that a bill was paid and tip money was left. Crawford, who was not in the restaurant at the time, said that he believes a campaign staffer left the money with one of his employees, but "where Hillary was sitting, there was no tip left."

How about a little fact checking in the future.
