The news title is “China fires tear gas on monks protesting in Tibet”.  I mean, I have no question about the article itself, but the seven photos that accompany this article clearly show South East Asian police instead of Chinese police putting down protest. If you dont have the photos, you can just leave them blank. These photos dont add any credibility to the article at all…

Several readers wrote in about this. There was certainly no attempt to confuse anybody. There were seven very dramatic photos in this slideshow, and the captions for each made very clear they were taken at a demonstration that day at the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi. In addition, you will note that the second paragraph of the story refers to “a string of marches around the world…” GBU Editor

Brakes hit for Corvette honors

Other measures put on hold include a proposal to name Kentucky Fried Chicken as the official picnic food and to make cornhole — a bean bag toss game — the official state game.

Great article, but around here (Illinois) “cornhole” is a euphisim for anal sex. Some one had better check their style book.Thanks for the best laugh I’ve had in a long time.

K.K.

We’re aware of the word’s other meaning, but we accurately reported the name of the game, and can’t really help that it has an alternate meaning as well: GBU Editor

Grave of Australian outlaw Ned Kelly said found

Kelly, immortalized for using home-made amour in a final shoot-out with police, became a folk hero of Australia’s colonial past with his gang’s daring bank robberies and escapes.

An interesting typo slipped through as this article was posted on Comcast. It said Mr. Kelly used home made “amour” in a shootout.

Perhaps, but unless Kelly was a lover and not a fighter, I suspect it was home made “armor”.

Yes, an unfortunate error introduced on some feeds when the British spelling ARMOUR came up against spell-check. We meant armor, and we corrected: GBU Editor

I’m curious why you are placing a picture of a “Help Wanted” sign next to a headline reading “Jobs Slashed”.Think about it…

Good question. That wasn’t a great choice of photos to illustrate the story. We switched to a different one: GBU Editor

Boeing gets U.S. briefing on tanker decision

Boeing’s then chief financial officer, Michael Sears, also went to prison and the then chief executive, Gary Condit, resigned in fallout from the deal that McCain called a taxpayer “rip-off.”

Good grief, Reuters! Let’s do some proofreading and fact checking before we publish, okay folks? The Boeing story incorrectly names Gary Condit as the former executive. That was a different scandal. Boeing’s former executive was PHILIP CONDIT.

Fix it!

We did indeed mix up our Condits. We corrected: GBU Editor

Boy matador flirts with death in bullring

LIMA (Reuters Life!) - Battle scars from being gorged by bulls ten times his size line the face and right leg of the matador Michelito, a pint-sized 10-year-old from Spain who is one of the world’s youngest bullfighters.

Didn’t you mean to say “gored” by bulls???? Need to hire a proofreader?

K.C.M.

Yes, we meant gored, of course. We corrected: GBU Editor

Back on trail, Obama and Clinton trade digs

Your article stated that Obama and Hilary traded digs; but what digs did Obama do? Your article stated that “Obama, who has stressed the need to elevate political discourse and end partisan bickering, and accepted the resignation of foreign policy adviser Samantha Power, who called Clinton “a monster.”

How is that a dig?

Portland

That wasn’t a dig, and this wasn’t a good headline for the story when it first ran. We subsequently updated the piecewith back-up forthe headline: GBU Editor

Huckabee ran for White House on wing and a prayer
 
The Huckabee machine included “homeschoolers” who volunteered for him in droves. Conservative Christians who “school” their children at home, they could easily be spotted at his campaign stops: mothers with long hair and home-made dresses and fathers with crew-cuts surrounded by mobs of children with Huckabee signs. They sometimes prayed aloud for his success.
 
It is an unfair assesment, as well as an uninformed assesment, to blanket categorize “homeschoolers” as you did. You imply that all homeschooling families are “mothers with long hair and home-made dresses,” “fathers with crew-cuts” with “mobs of children”. How dare you make such blatant categorizations? Homeschool families are not neccesarily all Conservative Christians, though a large number are, and they most certainly do not all fit into the box that you have put them in.

I don’t think our wording implies that all parents who homeschool their children look like that, and they certainly don’t: GBU Editor

Dutch cabinet may seek ban for Koran film: paper  

Wilders, who is the target of death treats on Islamic militant Web sites, said he had completed the film and was in negotiations with TV stations for its broadcast, slated for March or April.

Death treats?
