Probably newspapers-other media get things wrong all the time. We just don't know it. Look at the whole Iraq thing with WMD and how the Times pushed that, etc. There are probably lots of everything things that the papers get wrong.l

MOLE! BLOODY MOLE! We aren't supposed to talk about the bloody mole, but there's a bloody mole winking me in the face! I want to c-u-u-t it off, ch-o-o-p it off, and make guacamole! ... oh, sorry... So anyway, I had a chance to buy 6 or 7 of these things yesterday at the el-cheapo price well into the afternoon. I decided against it because I thought it was ludicrous that the bidding was up to $10 apiece and that mine would never get sold. Well, now they're up to $60, and next time I spend the FREAKIN $3 to make $300! ARRGH! And God bless New York for having these two knuckleheaded rivals for newspapers, the ones we can count on to give us a little color in our day frequently enough. (with headlines like "AXIS OF WEASEL: Germany and France wimp out on Iraq" in the Post, for example.)
