The June 23, 2012, story "LGBT's Worst Foe: The Closet Monster" had several errors in describing former Rep. Bob Bauman, R-Md. We originally wrote that Bauman "voted to deny federal funds to lawyers working on behalf of gay rights," but Bauman opposed federal subsidies for all lawyers, not just those representing gay rights. It also erroneously suggested that Bauman tried to solicit sex from an underage male prostitute; but the male in question was 16, an adult under the laws of Washington, D.C.

The story has been corrected. [Correction made 3/8/12]

The story "Jon Stewart Was Born to Bash Obama" contained three inaccuracies: Stewart began his "Daily Show" tenure in 1999, so the assertion that he had never done the job during a Democratic presidency was incorrect.

conservative activist arrested on charges he plotted to tamper with
Sen. Mary Landrieu's phone lines, helped plan a conference on "Race
and Conservatism" that featured white nationalist Jared Taylor. The
freelance photographer who attended the event, and snapped O'Keefe's
photo there, now says the right-wing provocateur helped out at the
conference, but cannot confirm that he helped plan it. The story has been corrected.
The article also said that O'Keefe was terminated by the right-wing
Leadership Institute in 2008, after videos were released of O'Keefe
calling Planned Parenthood and offering to donate money to abort
black babies. He was let go in 2007. Leadership Institute co-founder Morton Blackwell told the New York Times O'Keefe "wanted to do
sting operations that would affect legislation; he made some calls
which have been covered in the news media to Planned Parenthood. That
was beyond the scope of what we had hired him to do. We are an
educational organization. We are not an activist organization." Blackwell says he told O'Keefe to choose between his job and his activism, "and he said he was committed to the activism," according to the Times. The
date of O'Keefe's termination has been corrected, and Blackwell's
explanation has been added to the story.
Also, David Almasi is the director of Project 21, not the founder, as originally
stated.
Salon regrets the errors. [Correction made 2/5/10]
