FUNNIEST NEW YORK TIMES CORRECTION EVER?

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/01/funniest-new-york-times-correction-ever.php

It’s a contender, albeit from the society pages. From Friday’s New York Times, a correction to an article about a wedding:

Correction: Jan. 24, 2020

In an earlier version of this article, the given name of the actress who introduced the couple was misspelled. She is Vaishnavi Sharma, not Vaishmavi. The given name of the wedding officiant was also misspelled. She is Gabra Zackman, not Dabra. Also, the author of “Dracula” was incorrect. He is Bram Stoker, not Jane Austen.

That’s right: the Times employs a reporter, and presumably at least one editor, who thought Jane Austen was the author of Dracula! As I’ve said before, those who refer to reporters and editors as “elites” are missing the point. Reporters and editors, by and large, are less intelligent and less well-informed than the average citizen.

Maybe Jane Austen is Bram Stoker’s pen name :th_lmao:
