Restart the Farmer clock

However, this multiple vetting process still seems to be misfiring.  Today's example is from the Hunterdon County section of the Courier News/Home News Tribune which leads with the headline: "Matthew Holt to run from Leonard Lance's state Senate seat."

Holt is running FROM the seat?  Is he scared or something?  Note the headline on the clickthrough page clears it up: "Matthew Holt to run for Leonard Lance's state Senate seat"  

Yeah, no one is fallible - since I wrote the piece on Farmer, I actually misspelled someone's name.  But a quick email and an edit and it was fixed.  The newspapers, however, cannot correct a print error until the next day at the earliest.  IF anyone notices.

This makes it only five days since the last print media snafu.  Restart the Farmer clock: Now!
