As Twitchy told you earlier, NBC News and MSNBC reported that the feds had wiretapped Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and even intercepted one of his calls. Yeah, well, about that:

MSNBC Chyron: "Correction: Feds are monitoring, not listening to Cohen's calls" — Yashar Ali ? (@yashar) May 3, 2018

*HUGE* correction from NBC – says feds are “monitoring” michael cohen’s calls, not listening to or recording them. — kelly cohen (@politiCOHEN_) May 3, 2018

whoa: NBC is correcting its wiretap story on MSNBC right now, saying it was not a wiretap on Cohen phone. Says it was instead a log of phone calls known as a "pen register," so couldn't listen in — Justin Sink (@justinsink) May 3, 2018

CORRECTION: Feds have pen-register, not wiretap on Michael Cohen pic.twitter.com/gXLckdKPeX — MSNBC (@MSNBC) May 3, 2018

MSNBC just corrected on-air their wiretapping story, now say the government was "monitoring" Cohen's calls. That is… a gigantic difference. — Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) May 3, 2018

Pretty darn gigantic, yeah.

The media just can’t stop covering themselves in glory, can they?

This is an immense screw-up. A pen register is comparatively a nothingburger. https://t.co/c8mMntW2HP — LoomingCrisisHat (@Popehat) May 3, 2018

The media have to stop blowing stories like this. Get it together, guys. https://t.co/deqDq935R6 — Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) May 3, 2018

CORRECTION: Michael Cohen is NOT wiretapped. His phone calls are being monitored. Buddha on a biscuit our media is awful. — Melissa Mackenzie ? (@MelissaTweets) May 3, 2018

There’s only one question left to ask now:

Did they get confirmation from Stormy Daniels lawyer? https://t.co/ffxsCpdmKF — Mujahed Kobbe (@Moj_kobe) May 3, 2018

Well? Did they?

But, but, but… Stormy's lawyer Michael Avenatti said on MSNBC today that he had confirmed the story. Womp womp. https://t.co/pyhhiluy76 — Christian Datoc (@TocRadio) May 3, 2018

Update:

NBC News investigative reporter Tom Winter just tweeted out this clarification:

Correction: Earlier today NBC News, and this reporter, said that Michael Cohen's phone lines were wiretapped. 3 Senior U.S. Officials now dispute that, saying the monitoring was limited to a log of calls (pen register) not a wiretap of Cohen's lines. We will continue to report. — Tom Winter (@Tom_Winter) May 3, 2018

Uh, no offense, dude, but it seems like continuing to report is what got you guys into this mess in the first place.
