As usual, mainstream media gets some facts slightly wrong, leaving me to wonder if it’s only me & my friends whose stories they screw up, or if they screw up everything.
1) Comments were never enabled on our blog; 2) We didn’t both know the woman whose blog I appeared on seminaked. These are subtle facts, but facts nonetheless; the Times shouldn’t report something unless they know it is true… right??
Congratulations on your largely accurate profile, Julia!
Some would argue that these are small, subtle factual errors. But if it’s slipping through the cracks at The New York Times, how big do the chunks have to be before they’re caught? And even scarier: If this is happening at the Times, what’s going on at smaller institutions that don’t have the type of fact checking department that the Times does?
Can someone please just finish newspapers off already?
