Kurtz is apologizing for several errors in a column he wrote about gay basketball player Jason Collins this past week. Kurtz, host of CNN?s ?Reliable Sources,? brought two other media critics onto his show Sunday, May 5, 2013, to question him about the story written on The Daily Beast suggesting Collins had hidden a previous engagement to a woman when he came out as gay in a Sports Illustrated story. Kurtz said he was not only wrong in the facts, he shouldn?t have written the story in the first place and was too slow to correct himself. (AP Photo/Evan Agostini, File)
