Big Media Correction of the Day

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 11:07 pm



From today’s New York Times:

Correction: May 10, 2016

Because of an editing error, an article on Monday about a theological battle being fought by Muslim imams and scholars in the West against the Islamic State misstated the Snapchat handle used by Suhaib Webb, one of Muslim leaders speaking out. It is imamsuhaibwebb, not Pimpin4Paradise786.

This is like the database error that results in a white nationalist being named a delegate to the Republican National Convention by Donald Trump.

Whoops!

  2. Hey, Pat, c’mon. Anybody could have made that mistake, so close is the spelling.

  3. Other than that, I’m sure everything else was totally accurate.
