LA Times Retracts Tupac-Diddy Story

It looks like LA Times has finally removed the story on the paper's website linking Diddy to Tupac's murder. The LA Times has already publicly apologized for the story, now it appears the paper has finally retracted the story. In a statement on the Times website, they publicly retracted because the article "relied heavily on information that the Times no longer believes to be credible."

"The Times has since concluded that the FBI reports were fabricated and that some of the other sources relied on — including the person Philips previously believed to be the 'confidential source' cited in the FBI reports — do not support major elements of the story," the paper explained in the retraction. Along with retracting the front-page Web story from March 17 and a shorter version that appeared in the actual paper on March 19, the Times also retracted the text of two online chats that Philips participated in on March 18 and March 25, and comments from the Times' Soundboard blog from March 21

It's good The Times finally taken the steps to retract this bogus story.
