New York Times corrects an "error".
Editors' Note
Published: July 7, 2005

The Op-Ed page in some copies yesterday carried an incorrect version of an article about military recruitment. The writer, an Army reserve officer, did not say, "Imagine my surprise the other day when I received orders to report to Fort Campbell, Ky., next Sunday," nor did he characterize his recent call-up to active duty as the precursor to a "surprise tour of Iraq." That language was added by an editor and was to have been removed before the article was published. Because of a production error, it was not. The Times regrets the error.

#5  I think a good old fashioned destruction of their seditionist printing presses would be a good thing.

Removed before publishing?!? The fact it was in there in the first place shows that the New Yuck Times' "knee-jerks" are America hating blame-US-first scumbags first, and journalists second.

#3  Tut, tut, boys. Even I must admit that was a bit blatant. I can't stress enough how much we really have to make an effort not to get caught at these shenanigans all the time. It's starting to get embarrassing.
Oh, well. Off to the club to have one for Judy Miller. Anything for the First Amendment, eh Judy? Bring my limo around. Ta-ta...

#2  As someone on another blog said about the MSM: they're not blatant about their biases, they're brazen.

Um, which is it, the editor's fault or the convenient 'production error'?

The Times regrets the error.

The Times regrets getting caught.
