‘Clinton, Osama Meet’: Detroit Newspaper Prints Key Misspelling - With Video
Looks about right to me. Why fix it?
The editor and publisher of The Detroit News has apologised for a headline error in early morning editions about Barack Obama in which the Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting was called Osama.
Jonathan Wolman said the headline incorrectly read “Clinton, Osama meet to discuss unity” and appeared on page 17A of about 45,000 newspapers.
Mr Wolman said the error was made during a spell-check search and was caught and corrected about 20 minutes after the newspaper began publishing.
He said his apology was “graciously” accepted by Mr Obama’s campaign. Obama spokeswoman Amy Brundage said the campaign had accepted the apology.
The News plans to run a correction in its next issue
