Correction department
Whenever a newspaper makes a mistake, they tend to run its correction a few days later in a section of the paper completely unrelated to the one in which the original story ran. It's usually about 2 sentences long and under an advertisement for an auto mall or a"massage therapist."
As for TV people? We're even worse.
"I think you just said an earthquake hit Indianapolis, instead of India."
"Oh, I'm sure nobody noticed. I said it so quickly"
But not me! When I make a factual error, I'm man enough to admit it!
Most of the time.
Truth is, when you wake up at 1:15 AM, complete brain functionality doesn't occur until about 6:45. So, anything that happens before then is fairly clouded. But if I can REMEMBER making a mistake, I'll admit it.
