Two comical media errors in the last couple of days,one from CNN which managed to confuse Osama Bin Laden with the prospective Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.This is the apology courtesy of the Huffington post site.
"WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: One additional note, I just want to make a correction, an apology, Soledad, for what we did yesterday. In "THE SITUATION ROOM," we had a bad typographical error in one of ourgraphics. We were doing a piece on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in this new year 2007.
Unfortunately there was a graphic, instead of saying where is Osama, it said where is Obama. We want to apologize for that bad typo. We want to also apologize personally to Senator Barack Obama. I'm going to be making a call to him later this morning to offer my personal apology –Soledad."
In today's Guardian the following appears in corrections
"We mistakenly described Ed Stourton, one of the presenters of the Radio 4 Today programme, as the 27th Baron of Mowbray (So, Prezza, who got out on the wrong side of the bed? page 2, G2, yesterday). That title belongs to another Edward (William Stephen) Stourton."
