As much as I like Think Progress, that's a huge mistake to make.

Journalism and blogging just isn't what it used to be.

1. I KNEW that number sounded a little excessive

wow

2. Well Drudge, Faux, WND, etc...

Intentionally lie every day never, ever issue a correction much less an apology.

I agree with your premise. I'm also glad that my news sources have the guts to admit that they made a mistake.

3. Actually

Think Progress did what responsible journalists are supposed to do when they make a factual error: issue a correction without couching that correction within some lame excuse or hiding it in some inaccessible spot.

News entities, whether they be print, broadcast or digital make mistakes. How they handle those mistakes is the true test of their mettle.

5. They are right far more often then they are wrong, and they

issued a correction. What's the problem? You'd be better served critiquing faux; you'd never run out of material when you can find it, because they lie and never issue corrections.
