FakeNews Media Should Study Mark Styne’s ‘Correction Lesson’

The Columbia Journalism Review reported, “Correction as Weapon: Self-Inflicted Wounds.”

Can you tell what’s going on in this 2001 correction/apology published by the Ottawa Citizen?

The Ottawa Citizen and Southam News wish to apologize for our apology to Mark Steyn, published Oct. 22. In correcting the incorrect statements about Mr. Steyn published Oct. 15, we incorrectly published the incorrect correction. We accept and regret that our initial regrets were unacceptable and we apologize to Mr. Steyn for any distress caused b our previous apology.

I feel the offering deserves consideration as one of the top ten corrections of all time. Admittedly, though, it belongs at the bottom end of the list, due to the fact that it doesn’t actually tell you what the incorrect correction got wrong, or why the paper needed to apologize for its apology.

Dickhead, Abilio James Acosta (aka: Acosta-Cortez), Gets Called A “Dickhead” By Sebastian Gorka

From the Daily Caller, “SEBASTIAN GORKA, JIM ACOSTA TRADE VERBAL BLOWS IN WHITE HOUSE DUST-UP.”

A drive-by sniping from CNN’s Jim Acosta caused Former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka to launch a loud, verbal barrage Thursday at the White House.

Multiple witnesses were aghast when they say Acosta saw Gorka, who just debuted his SALEM Radio Network show “America First,” and told him bluntly that media-related meetings with the president were for “real journalists” only. Gorka proceeded to berate Acosta at a high volume.

“Abilio ‘Jim’ Acosta, you are a dickhead,” Gorka fired back at Acosta.
