Dept of Corrections
I came across this wonderful correction on twitter:
A correction for the ages, by Brazilian news magazine Veja
— Cleuci de Oliveira (@CLEUCl) September 7, 2018
"The candidate likes to spend his free time reading Tolstoy, and not watching Toy Story, as originally reported" https://t.co/qKcKbsyFYw
I probably shouldn’t attempt to add anything to that, but I am reminded of a New York Times correction from 1993:
Because of a transmission error, an interview in the Egos & Ids column on May 16 with Mary Matalin, the former deputy manager of the Bush campaign who is a co-host of a new talk show on CNBC, quoted her incorrectly on the talk show host Rush Limbaugh. She said he was “sui generis,” not “sweet, generous.”
