the corrections

A website I love, "RegretthError.com" has posted their annual round-up of the most egregious and entertaining media corrections of the year
right here.


Among my personal favorites:


-A November Reuters report about the recall of "beef panties."


-From The Guardian: In our G2 cover story about Hunter S Thompson yesterday we mistakenly attributed to Richard Nixon the view that Thompson
represented "that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character". On the contrary, it was what Thompson said of Nixon.


-From the Dallas Morning News: Norma Adams-Wade's June 15 column incorrectly called Mary Ann Thompson-Frenk a socialist. She is a socialite.
