Creating [Wrong] Reality
“What is it with television news and corrections? When the rest of the
journalism world gets something wrong, they generally correct
themselves. But network news acts as if an on-air admission of error
might cause a meteor to land on the noggin of one of its precious
talking heads. NBC used all of the powers at its disposal to amend the
mistake, except the high-visibility airtime where the bad clip ran in
the first place.”
