Politico Mopes: 'Tabloid' Herald Forced Boston Globe to Cover Warren Story (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/05/28/Politico-Mopes-Tabloid-Herald-Forced-Boston-Globe-to-Cover-Warren-After-They-Declared-the-Story-Over)
A month ago, The Boston Herald scooped all local and national outlets by revealing that liberal darling Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat running for senate in Massachusetts, had been touted by Harvard as a “Native American” and an example of its “diversity.”
Since then, the Warren campaign has scrambled from one defense to the next. First, the Warren campaign said that she was 1/32 Cherokee. But when Breitbart News reported there was absolutely no documentation or proof of Warren’s claim, the Warren campaign retreated, as well as the professional genealogical society the campaign used for cover.
When Warren then insinuated that she may not have known Harvard was claiming her as a Native American, Breitbart News again debunked this notion by reporting that Warren most likely had to “self-report” her “minority” status to Harvard in a federal EEOC filing because appearance itself is not sufficient for her to be labeled a “Native American.”
In light of this information, which other old media outlets like the Boston Globe have taken credit for two weeks after Breitbart News reported on it without proper attribution, the Warren campaign floated a few other explanations. Warren, they said, may have listed herself as a Native American to meet other Native Americans, despite there being no indication she actually went to events put on by Native American groups. Warren also explained that she knew she was Native American because her mother told her so.
