Regret The Error - Corrections, Retractions & Clarifications in newspapers around the country
Kim Komando Cool Site of the Day - 1/16/06 ^ | Jan. 16, 2006 | Kim Komando

Ooops!

We all make mistakes. But some mistakes are bigger than others. Here's an example--when a newspaper prints incorrect information.

Newspapers frequently run corrections and retractions. But you usually have to search for them.

Well, Regret the Error lists corrections, retractions and clarifications printed in newspapers around the country. It also includes a short commentary.

Sometimes the mistakes are humorous. But I [Kim Komando] don't visit the site to gloat over others' mistakes. I read it because it makes me feel a little better about some of the mistakes I've made.

;-)

Sometimes it is best to understate to underline the magnitude of the oops.

Oh goodness, I wonder if Ted Kennedy had seen this if he would have leveled the accusation in the hearings. Oh dear, how hilarious.
