Well, these are…unfortunate.
Hey, writers make mistakes. But if they have any values, they admit their errors, apologize, correct them, and move on. Here are some of the funniest and most interesting editorial mistakes and fails from the 2010s…
Let’s see what went down.
1. That is lengthy.

3. That’s a big difference.
My story about @PeteButtigieg ends with him referring to the “failures of the Obama era.” That’s an inaccurate quote — the result of transcribing a noisy recording at a loud rally. His exact words were “failures of the old normal”

Big fails!
But, like I said: admit it, fix it, apologize, move on.
Unlike some folks in government and media, these people all admitted their mistakes. Imagine that!?!?
