Årets korreksjon og årets løgn

Det er tid for kåringer.

Aftenposten resirkulerer kåringen fra bloggen Regret the Error av årets korreksjon: "A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number."

Kanskje den beste var denne: "Bear sighting: An item in the National Briefing in Sunday’s Section A said a bear wandered into a grocery story in Hayward, Wis., on Friday and headed for the beer cooler. It was Thursday." (se mange flere i kåringsinnlegget)

Samtidig har PolitiFact, en faktasjekkside, kåret årets løgn. "Vinneren" ble Sarah Palin som påsto at Obamas helseplan inneholder "death panels": "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's ‘death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."

For øvrig er det kanskje i overkant lettvint både for journalister og bloggere å videreformidle andres kåringer...
