Media They Really Regret It

From today’s NYT “Corrections: For the Record”…
An article in some copies on Wednesday about Congressional efforts to pass legislation to expand the government’s electronic wiretapping powers misspelled — yet again — the surname of the attorney general of the United States, in three of four references. He is Alberto R. Gonzales, not Gonzalez. (The Times has misspelled Mr. Gonzales’s name in at least 14 articles dating to 2001 when he became White House counsel. This year alone Mr. Gonzales’s name has been misspelled in February and March, and in two articles in April.)
i love it when the old gray lady gets bitchy.
I'd like to mispel his name as something else - deceased.
Dear NYT,
"Fuck Twat" is a LOT easier to spell and requires less keystrokes.
Just thought you'd like to know.
Yours truly,
I am now in love with whoever at the NYT had spine enough to write and publish that correction.
That is priceless.
Isn't this like Dwyane Wade? When your common name isn't spelled the common way, get used to it being butchered your whole life.
i have been amused many times over the years when the local papers and tv stations refer to our madison st as madison ave or our beacon ave as beacon st or rainier valley as the central area etc etc. No accuracy no credibility i say
