NY Times Has Four Corrections Today
Pass out the Pepto for the editing staff of the world’s most famous newspaper as columnists Bill Kristol and David Brooks racked up two corrections each for Barack Obama columns.
Kristol said there was no recent primary in which the candidate winning the nomination got defeated as badly as Obama did in West Virginia. Obama did catch quite the whooping, losing to Hillary Clinton by more than 41 points. But Kristol was unaware of the Utah primary in which Mitt Romney destroyed John McCain. McCain lost that one by better than 90 percent. He also incorrectly identified California’s Supreme Court as being in Sacramento when it’s in San Francisco.
Brooks said Obama voted for a farm bill which he didn’t. He does support the bill in question, however. And a McCain speech Brooks referenced was in Chicago, not Detroit as he said. Kinda makes you wonder how many less obvious mistakes slip through the cracks, huh?
