Oopsie!

After the media frenzy over Sandra Cunningham's campaign supposedly endangering people by sending a convicted child molester door-to-door to gather petition signatures, the truth finally comes out. Sort of. The Saturday edition of the Jersey Journal ran this in tiny print (my emphasis):
A story in the May 19 edition incorrectly reported the number of petitions that volunteer Russell Wallace collected in an effort to get state Senate candidate Sandra Bolden Cunningham on the ballot. According to court documents, he collected only six signatures, not hundreds as was incorrectly reported. There is also no evidence that Wallace went door to door collecting any petitions either on his own or at the behest of Ms. Cunningham.
Everyone gets things wrong from time to time. But they got it 100% completely wrong, and rather than inform their readers, they ran an itty bitty correction that nobody will ever see. Classy.

Re (0.00 / 0)
Most corrections are run in tiny out-of-the-way places.  This is just another example of them being too afraid to own up to their mistakes.

I know. That doesn't make it right.

Just saying it's typical.
