The NPR journalists whose report this week portrayed the merits of conversion therapy as up for debate are now admitting they made mistakes.

Morning Edition aired a report Monday that featured an interview with Rich Wyler, founder of an organization promoting "ex-gay" therapy, and Peterson Toscano, who says the therapy was mentally damaging. NPR health reporter Alix Spiegel and her editor, Anne Gudenkauf, claim that even if they wrongfully gave equal weight to both men's arguments at the start of the piece, the facts were made clear eventually.
