Early on the morning of Governor Sarah Palin's book release day, USA Today's The Oval blog posted a piece asking who was more qualified to be president, Clinton or Palin. Naturally, instead of using an image of Sarah Palin's book cover to illustrate the story, USA Today used the attack book against Palin, one which mimics Palin's cover, in a cynical bid to confuse readers on which book is which.
We are left wondering about USA Today. Were they just stupid, not knowing that there was an attack book making itself look like Palin's book? Or did the folks at USA Today know full well that they were posting an image of the attack book's cover and not Palin's actual book?
Here is a screen capture of the original page.
After multiple complaints, USA Today did end up changing the image later in the morning to the proper book cover image with an "erratum."
I'm sure they regret getting caught. Not really sure if they regret the error.
ERRATUM: An earlier posting featured the photo of a different Sarah Palin book. The Oval regrets the error.
- WTH
Of course the people who say Hillary are liberals anyways. The media is such a joke!!!! I rather get the news from Baghdad Bob.
ReplyDeleteUSA Today is published by Gannett, which also owns a chain of newspapers. They all have a very liberal editorial POV.

Bret Baier on Fox News did the same thing, too.
ReplyDeleteThe next night he put the covers up side by side and apologized for the error.
The authors of that book are thinking "mission accomplished." Sad stuff.
