Buchanan actively courted Lenora Fulani in his bid to take over the Reform Party.

That was when I realized that Pat Buchanan is no conservative. He's just a nationalist socialist.

Nevertheless she was not his running mate. If the author had talked about Buchanan courting Fulani, flirting with Fulani, playing footsie with Fulani, I'd have no complaint. But calling her his running mate is a factual error. Journalists are supposed to avoid those. Editors are supposed to catch them.

I have the same problem with Chuck Baldwin insisting that Ozzy Osbourne was invited to dinner at the White House by President Bush, when he was only invited to the White House Correspondents Dinner by Greta Van Susteren. Baldwin never corrected it either; probably because the "error" was an important part of his "Is Bush the Anti-Christ?" rant, so he let it stand.
