I'm Not Sure They REALLY Regret the Errors

Regret The Erroris a blog that collects "corrections, retractions, clarifications, and trends regarding accuracy and honesty in North American media." This may well be a NewsFilterFilter, but any site that gives me "In fact, it is impossible to determine the linguistic background of the demonstrator in the monkey suit" is okay in my book.

I feel gratified and responsible.

NewsFilterFilter is probably better stated as MetaNewsFilter.

Are they not aware that "Apologies of the Week" is a copyrighted feature?

Never forget that essential journalistic principle, "Err on A-1, correct on G-6".

(Murdoch publications may substitute "Lie" for "Err", "retract" for "correct", and "not at all" for "on G-30").

Grumble. And the reader may substitute "6" for "30" in the above...
