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 […]

The Boston Herald is surely drowning in hate mail right now after it retracted a Feb. 2 article accusing the New England Patriots of videotaping the St. Louis Rams’ Super Bowl XXXVI walkthrough.
It turns out no such tape exists. Um, oopsie? The Herald now admits they didn’t the have the tape, see the tape […]

The Los Angeles Times can’t backtrack away from its story implicating Sean “P-Diddy” Combs in a non-fatal attack on Tupac Shakur fast enough. Today the disgraced paper issued a formal retraction of the March 17 story saying associates of Combs staged a 1994 ambush attack on Shakur that led to his nonfatal shooting.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.
The New York Times has run an expose on former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s last call girl. They have pictures, link to her mySpace page, and give her life story.
Two options here: either the girl wants the publicity or our faithful media has just incredibly unfairly […]

By now, the Hamas-engineered destruction of the Gaza-Egypt border fence and the resulting uninterrupted flow of Palestinians to and from the Sinai Peninsula is already old news.

Despite the seriousness of this article, I couldn’t help but be floored with laughter seeing the picture the New York Times editorial staff chose to complement the story.
The commander-in-chief sure does look thrilled at the prospect of WWIII, doesn’t he? This is somewhere between a "come hither" and "tell that old fishing story again" look.

Just recently Simply Dumb featured a story where French President Nicolas Sarkozy had an altercation with American paparazzi. It seems that one French magazine was happy to use the photos, but only after retouching them to make the leader look thinner. Yes, they edited out his "love handles." National pride was at stake, you know? […]

This headline really just gets to me: “Israeli violence could harm peace talks-Abbas”
I just have a hard time understanding why it is that “Israeli violence,” i.e. a targeted strike which killed 13 terrorists, threatens peace talks but television shows encouraging children to murder Jews and become martyrs, rockets fired at daycares, bombs planted along the […]

It seems that Reuters can’t get anything right. Remember that story we featured two days ago about Russia sending an expedition to the North Pole to plant their flag on the northernmost sea bed?
Well, Reuters apparently took the liberty of providing underwater shots of those ambitious sailors in their submersibles. Just one problem, […]
