In Tass there is no Pravda?
Two days after a Boston Globe reporter acknowledged that he accidentally misquoted John Kerry, the New York Times printed an A.P. story that repeats the misquote:
The speech was part of Kerry's effort to cast his campaign in terms of his war-hero background and, at the same time, deflect criticism over his vote in the Senate against an $87 billion funding bill for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also has been criticized for his assertion that some foreign leaders hope he defeats Bush in November.It would be interesting to hear what the Times' policy is on wire stories that contain known errors. Guess it's time for another letter to the Public Editor.
