For those who remember the Boston Globe front-page that showed Paul finishing in 5th, even though he was 4th. I emailed every editor at the Globe and finally got a response. How nice that they are blaming it on a graphic artist:

__________________________________________________ _____________

Email from an editor:

Dear Mr. Brown:

This was corrected the following day. The error was made by a graphics
artist, who mistakenly transposed the numbers.

Sincerely,

Martin Baron
Editor
The Boston Globe

Sorry if it was already reported. I didn't see anything about them making a retraction.

I guess since the graphic artists do all the layouts and designs, then the editor and proof readers jobs are pointless and should all immediately be fired

Paulitical Correctness
