My favorite newspaper correction was published in the UK’s Times several years ago.
‘Is The Pope a Catholic?’ has been a long-used rhetorical question to infer a statement of the bleeding obvious.
Yet the Times inadvertently managed to cast doubt over this apparently incontrovertible fact in a reference to Pope John Paul II, and had to print the following comical clarification: ‘Karol Wojtyla was referred to in Saturday’s Credo column as the “the first non-Catholic pope for 450 years.” This should, of course, have read “non-Italian”.’
As a former newspaper editor myself, these sort of excruciatingly embarrassing mea culpas make me cringe as much as they make me laugh; been there, seen the play, read the book, suffered the shame etc.
But sometimes a ridiculous correction appears that goes way beyond any semblance of humor, and makes my eyeballs explode.

These people are stupid.
And this is coming from a dedicated lefty...
“Is the Pope Catholic?”
No.. the Pope is Communist.
PIERS MORGAN: Trump’s right - this Kavanaugh sex smear fiasco proves the New York Times is now a partisan hack paper intent on destroying his presidency by any means necessary
The nyt has no credibility. It is a worthless piece of garbage.
Are the Useful Idiot’s finally realizing the Liberal Media are Liars? What took them 2+ decades?
The New York Times is a Leftist “pamphlet” that has nothing to do with “news” reporting or journalism.
It’s not a place to go to get facts, it’s a political mouthpiece for Leftists and Democrats.
The “newspaper of record” long ago became the “newspaper of ***tards”.
To you, me and any other sane thinking person.
But to the Left and its sycophants, it’s still the Paper of Record.
I remember in college, about 30+ years ago, I decided one day to start buying the paper and reading up on things. I got a copy of the NY Times, as it was the NY Times. Read the news and then got to the Op/Ed section. Took me about 3 days to realize that it was nothing but a liberal rag and not worth the paper it was printed on. Crappy then, even worse now.
I assume he means "the tweet was ‘clearly inappropriate and offensive.’ " I didn't check on whether this was a NYT error or a Piers error, but either way it's just sad.
My parakeets wont even crap on the NYT anymore.
New York Times ...
‘’All the news that’s sh!t to print’’
Piers Morgan; a Leftist who will remain a Leftist. His opinion is worth less than the cost of printing those lines.
From being the “Old Grey Lady” to be being just an old hag.
Goodbye NYT; you will not be missed.
I decided the NYT was nothing more than leftist propaganda by the 1970s; in 1982 I lived with a “conservative” roommate who revered it as the only credible news source, and read it daily.
The NYT was pro-Stalin and pro-Roosevelt in the 1930s. Knowing that, plus Viet Nam coverage, plus Watergate coverage, was enough for me.
