Lounge of Tomorrow - The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

With all due respect, GC.... If you "failed" every newspaper and internet news feed that had a typo in a headline there wouldn't be any left. They are quite common, and always have been.

I'm not planing on delving into the details of it. But that's why I won't attack it.

Good, because then it's no longer funny :)

I think the major internet news sites should not have any mistakes in their articles. Especially not the headline for their top story on their homepage.

Keep dreaming. Newspapers have always been chock full of typos. It's nothing new and it's not going away.

Incidentally, I remember when my mom would actually write a letter every time she saw a newspaper article make the its/it's mistake.

Plus, it was fixed within 5 minutes (I checked it out as soon as you posted the picture).

I see several typos a day in the San Francisco Chronicle and the hurdle to fixing a mistake is much higher in print.

Yeah, it was really kinda awkward the other day when a very out of breath editor knocked on my door with whiteout and a pen. I hated to have to tell him that we only get the Sunday paper.
