On The Media is produced by:
Try as they might, publishers and broadcasters can’t help making mistakes now and then. Craig Silverman, of the website and book Regret the Error, makes his third annual visit to our show for a round-up of the year in errors and corrections.
No one should be deluded into thinking reporters bring us the truth, for truth is in the accumulation of knowledge and none of us has a corner on that. Reporters add to the sum of that knowledge, but only a part and often times with erroneous information, some times corrected, other times not.
I am still waiting to hear a correction out of Charlie Gibson for saying the House passed a bill calling the Armenian massacre of 1.5 million Americans genocide.
That's a good one!
