Sorry, no ghosts in Newsweek's scoop
Alas, I am sad to report that there are no ghosts at all in Newsweek‘s much ballyhooed front-page exclusive look behind the secret curtain that hid the real President George W.

This is the feature story with the heavy subheadline “Behind the Scenes With President Bush As the Middle East Explodes.”

Post time for another Orthodox correction
Here we go again, only this time GetReligion is requesting a correction from The Washington Post. We recently discovered that the copy desk at The New York Times takes corrections very seriously, going so far as to dig back into history and correct past mistakes as well as the one that was bugging us.
