Still Waiting for THIS Correction
A lot of attention this morning to a hysterical Wash Post correction, called by some "the best ever," in which they admit that a guy's build should not have been described as "heavy set" but instead "muscular." Love to have tape of his call when he complained. And now comes word that the print and online versions of the correction are different. My view: Come on folks, Wash Post's "best correction ever" would be: "We blew
coverage of the run-up to Iraq invasion, and our editorials and columnists were awful and wrong, and hundreds of thousands died."
