    These are not the facts you are looking for.

    I'm pretty sure I would have written the original report. ;)

    They do corrections well. About 20 years ago, they published an incorrect address for the White House, which, of course, is famously located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The correction began:

    "Some of these are more embarrassing than others ..."

    Earlier this week, they published the wrong photo of a Congresswoman from Tampa. (They ran a picture of her sister, who's a state representative.) The correction ended with the words, "The two are sisters, but we know better."
