Regret the Error

Valleywag spotted this typo on CNBC:

Then TVNewser added this comment from an ex-employee of CNBC:

I worked there for four years as a producer and after submitting the fullscreen to graphics correctly, occasionally there would be a typo. The only net I have seen without a typo — EVER — is ESPN. It’s amazing how they pull it off with the amount of text graphics they use. CNBC and the others also use a lot of text but with a much higher graphics rate.

As we previously reported, ESPN actually has the best cross-platform corrections policy of any broadcaster/publisher out there. So it’s not so surprising to hear they’re also good at preventing errors.
