The evening newscast of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation last night ran an image of the wrong Going Rogue. The book written by Sarah Palin is titled, Going Rogue: An American Life. Another book, written by two staffers at the Nation, is called, Going Rouge: Sarah Palin An American Nightmare.
From a report in the Globe And Mail:
The CBC has admitted it inadvertently displayed the jacket of an anti-Sarah Palin book during a story about the former vice-presidential candidate that aired on The National.
The gaffe came Monday night during a piece on Ms. Palin’s hotly anticipated new memoir Going Rogue: An American Life.
A CBC spokesman confirmed that the network mistakenly put up a graphic depicting the cover of Going Rouge: Sarah Palin An American Nightmare…CBC spokesman Jeff Keay says the mistake was fixed in a subsequent broadcast.
No mention of a correction. I also wonder if the same thing happened at the Herald in South Carolina, given this corection:
The wrong book cover ran in Monday s Herald with a story about Sarah Palin. Palin’s new book, Going Rogue, hits bookstores today.
ON 18 September 2009, we published an article in which Warren Furman, also known as the Gladiator “Ace”, was reported as denying “internet rumours” that he had raped Jordan. In doing so, the article implied that these “rumours” were sufficiently serious to require a response from Mr Furman.
ON 17 July 2008 in our front page article “Ron the Lash” we falsely reported that whilst recovering from an operation to his ankle Cristiano Ronaldo had “gone on a bender” at a Hollywood nightclub where he splashed out pounds 10,000 on champagne and vodka and threw his crutches to the ground and tried to dance on his uninjured foot.
On November 5 we translated the name of Ed and Nancy Kienholz’s artwork at the National Gallery, The Hoerengracht, as ‘Gentlemen’s Canal’. This should have read ‘Whore’s Canal’. We apologise for the error.
Steven Pearlstein’s column in the Nov. 6 Economy & Business pages incorrectly referred to “uncomfortably high employment.” It should have read “uncomfortably high unemployment.”
In a story on Page 3-A of Wednesday’s Independent about the Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Trail of Terror haunted house, a reaction to strobe lights should have included the word “freaking.” The word was replaced with asterisks, perhaps causing confusion about what was actually said. The Independent apologizes for this confusion and the impression it left. 
On 29 March and 1 April last year we reported that Mr Patel was an evil terrorist who had been jailed for his part in a transatlantic jet terror plot. While he had been convicted under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act of possessing material that might be useful to terrorists, the court accepted that he unwittingly held documents for a friend of his father. Mr Patel has never had any involvement with terrorism acts. We are happy to set the record straight and apologise to him.
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.
An article on Page 4 this weekend about Sienna Miller misstates the nature of the relationships that she had with Heath Ledger and Sean Combs. She was friends with both of them; she did not have romantic flings with them. 
A reply to a question in Notes & Queries yesterday recommended purchasing lion and tiger urine from Chester Zoo to stop neighbourhood cats from urinating in a vegetable patch (G2, page 17). Chester Zoo would like to forestall requests for its big cats’ urine: it asks us to make clear that it does not in fact sell either tiger or lion urine. Many years ago the zoo sold elephant dung, but it no longer does.
Blogger Fred Witzell wrote to Hurst Mayor Richard Ward that his membership in Mayors Against Illegal Guns was a disgrace. After that, Ward responded that Witzell was “dumb” and “ugly.” Witzell then responded that Ward was an “idiot” mayor. The sequence of events was incorrect Thursday in an article.

AN incorrect Thought for the Day was published yesterday.
The Gazette of Montreal takes part in an annual campaign called Raise-A-Reader. It helps raise money for literacy programs. Unfortunately, a front page headline yesterday about the campaign did little to help the cause:
Note the highlighted text:
IN AN article published on September 10 “Man ‘listens to heart’ and helps mother feed twins”, we stated that Amy Pillay was HIV-positive. She is HIV-negative.
An article on May 25, 2007, ‘The Cult Guru Who Stole My Son’ made claims that William Van Gordon was a ‘brainwashed zombie’ and Edo Shonin brainwashed him and that the Buddhist retreat which they ran was a cult. We accept this is untrue. We apologise to both men for the contrary impression given. 
New Brunswick’s Telegraph-Journal continues to atone for an erroneous report from earlier in the summer that set of a 
I initially didn’t post about this story because it struck me as a tale of well-meaning aggregation gone wrong, but it seems that the issue was bigger than that. The bottom line is that the Hartford Courant has apologized for repeatedly and knowingly plagiarizing the work of its competitors.

There are a few corrections that need to be made regarding two stories in the August, 2009 edition featuring Newco Tank Corp.
