It’s now one entire month since I told the L.A. Times about an error made by an op-ed contributor, who claimed that George W. Bush had “[e]rroneously said Nelson Mandela was dead.”
One month. I wrote the Readers’ Representative on New Year’s Day.

Oh you bloggers! You just have an agenda.

Again: LAT cringing in embarrassment behind the facade of incorrectability, or just obtusely arrogant? [Bloggers] report, you decide.

Paging Mr. Zell!
[NOTE: I found this comment in moderation. I've decided WordPress has it in for Bradley J. Fikes but at least his comments get posted faster than an LA Times' correction. -- DRJ]

You might want to count your blessings. At least she hasn’t buried the correction in a column where she attacks you personally as a partisan hater.

No surprise. For nearly three weeks the Times has failed to make a simple correction of an obvious mistake — the spelling of Jonah Goldberg’s last name as “Goldman.” The readers’ representative acknowledged may e-mail, but, just like Patterico, I got no replay two weeks later when I asked why no correction to a mistake that was plain for all to see. Arrogance rules.

There should be a Pulizter for dogged doughtiness in seeking corrections.
Comment by Bradley J Fikes — 2/1/2008 @ 6:17 pm
There’s more likely to be a Pulitzer Prize for dogged doughtiness in avoiding making a correction.

Yeah, you could make it a special Pulitzer in memory of Walter Duranty.
