This Alessandra dope has the lame job of being a TV critic...and she can't even do that right...
"The Alessandra Watch: How Wrong Is She?

20051227nytcorrex.jpgThat little bout of “truthiness” bitchiness this morning reminded us that it’d be a good time to look back at Times TV critic Alessandra Stanley’s correctability in 2005. Our good pal Nexis tells us that Stanley notched 20 corrections on 137 articles this year, which means that a full 15 percent of her dispatches required correcting.*
But then we wondered if perhaps we were being unfair. (After all, why must we always be so glass-half-full? Congratulations, Alessandra, on being right a whopping 85 percent of the time this year!) Is Stanley really so much worse than any other critic?
The answer: Yes! She is! We checked 2005 corrections rates on 19 Times cultural critics, and we discovered that Stanley can comfortably claim the title as Most Inaccurate 2005. Indeed, she’s more than twice as inaccurate as the average non-Stanley critic at the Times. (The other 18 averaged a 7 percent correction rate.)"

I would not be at all surprised if Woodruff appears on the State of the Union preview show. There's more than one kind of martyr in this war.
That said, I do wish them a speedy recovery.
