Correction Watch

Filed under: Dog Trainer,General — Patterico @ 6:58 pm



I’m told that the L.A. Times will be issuing a correction tomorrow of their editorial that claimed Justice O’Connor was in the majority in every 5-4 decision last term. (I told you about this on Saturday, in this post.)

They will also be issuing a correction soon (perhaps tomorrow) regarding the identity of the Sheriff’s Deputy who received an Award of Valor along with recently murdered Sheriff’s Deputy Jerry Ortiz. (As I first told you here, the actual recipient was Tim Brennan, not Colin Orpe.)

I’m also told that my complaint about the paper’s misstatement regarding the effect of the Three Strikes Law has been passed along to the editors of the L.A. Times Magazine. (The piece, which has already seen several corrections, incorrectly stated that the Three Strikes Law provides for life without the possibility of parole. I first told you about that in this post.)

UPDATE 7-6-05: The representation about the O’Connor correction running today turns out to have been inaccurate, so far as I can tell.

  1. Wednesday on-line edition is now up – and they still have just the TWO corrections pasted last… Sunday. Looks like they don’t want to post anything new until they figure out how to post the BIG correction. Wonder how many corrections they are keeping backlogged….

  2. In my experience, the corrections don’t post online as early in the morning as some of the stories do. I’m betting the correction will be online in the morning, and will be in the print edition of tomorrow’s paper.

  3. I agree. But I am curious to see how many of the other corrections of the past four days will ‘suddenly’ show up – or NOT show up – at the same time.

  4. Well, it turns out that the correction didn’t run today, though I was told by the Readers’ Representative that it would.
