 Posted: 12/19/05 - 09:58 Post subject: The Year in Media Errors and Corrections
http://www.regrettheerror.com/2005/12/crunks_05_the_y.html
| Quote: | White House Press secretary Scott McClellan told Reuters: "It's puzzling that while Newsweek now acknowledges that they got the facts wrong, they refused to retract the story...I think there's a certain journalistic standard that should be met and in this instance it was not."
Whitaker stood strong, refusing to retract the story. In one interview he said, "We're not retracting anything. We don't know what the ultimate facts are."Oh my. Not retracting becasue you don't know what the facts are |
It's a long article but interesting/funny and the site itself is pretty neat.

Newspapers can make the most glaring of errors. I have yet to see them do more than have a couple of one liners on page two.
Very rarely do you ever see an editorial comment or larger item.

At one point, the New York Post ran a front-page headline: “Holy Shiite.”
How embarrassing for everyone.
