The same New York Times that declared on a page 1 story in 2002 that the Bush Administration had proof of WMDs in Iraq?
for fun, some of the corrections the "paper of record" has made this year (and yes many of these are on smaller non-page one pieces, and lots of papers whether in print or online make mistakes, but most of them don't hold themselves to the same standards as the NYT): ? Confused Cyprus, the country, with cypress, the tree. ? Ran an article about appreciating the beauty of cherry trees, accompanied by a picture of crab apple trees. ? Erroneously asserted that during World War II, Britain had a marketing slogan. ? Mistook the Jersey City waterfront for the Manhattan skyline. ? Understated the Eurozone bailout by $667 billion. ? Understated the revenue gain from ending tax cuts for the rich by $798 billion. Reporter responsible, would you like to be on the Republican ticket? ? Understated the likely cost of Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act by $1.2 trillion. Reporter responsible, would you like to be on the Democratic ticket? ? In an article about retirement funding, used an estimate that was off by $1.2 trillion. ? "Misstated the number of presidents with 6 letters in their first names." ? Unfairly accused the Canadian Pacific Railroad of planning to start a thermonuclear war. ? Admitted a Page 1 article was based on a substantial error in the use of statistics. Topic of the article? Educational standards. ? Incorrectly declared that passengers departing a plane from San Juan to New York City must "go through Customs" because they might bring items "to the United States from Puerto Rico." ? Incorrectly declared that a bachelor party had been held at Legoland. -----Original Message----- From: Peter D'Antonio [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 02:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] R.I.P. Movie Collector's World 1976-2012 True, much of the today's news can now be had from trending twitter hashtags, but you all are ignoring the fact that the convenience of instant access sacrifices quality and considerably so. You cannot find better reporting than that of the NY Times period; you may of course argue that the internet can make up for this loss, but such wouldn't change the fact that it is the newsprints that are the most informative and do a better job than any website (or string of websites for that matter) possibly can. And I'm probably younger than most of you (still in college), so shame shame shame, pick up a paper.

Each time I politely decline telling her that there isn't a scrap of news in the paper that I probably didn't know about yesterday while reading it online. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Halegua Posters + Comic Art [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 02:09 PM To:[email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] R.I.P. Movie Collector's World 1976-2012 I'm surprised most print media is still alive today, much less a fewyears from now. the only time I get a newspaper is when I'm at an airport goingsomewhere.

As a cartoonist and freelance writer I've made all or someof my living in print for most of my adult life. That ended earlier thisyear when the alt weekly I cartooned for was shuttered by its corporatemasters. At a cartoonists convention a scant week after that, one ofCanada's best-known editorial cartoonists predicted that the paper heworks for won't even exist, in print form or maybe in any form, in threeyears. Now it looks like he was being optimistic! Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: BruceHershenson To:[email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 8:12 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] R.I.P.
