Big mistake in today's Startlegram

[Limp Lizard]

In big letters it shouts "Gary Patterson Rips New Redshirt Rule". Then the FWST article posted yesterday in this forum follows. Of course the article states at the beginning that GP likes the new redshirt rule and hates the new transfer rule.

If it were online that could quickly be remedied. But this is in print, with no telling how many copies printed. Wonder where the retraction will be hidden in tomorrow's Startlegram?

I thought you were going to say they published a column by Big Steaming Pile.

That's a mistake they keep making.

Don’t they hire proof readers (copy editors?)...where do I apply for said gig.

Will work at the Athletic for a free sub’ and a small fee or other places for a large fee (and large sub sandwich)

Who would admit to reading the ST?

10s of copies

What?!! What?!!! A mistake in the Startlegram? Come on, surely you are joking.

When Gil left the Startlegram it erased the only sane reason to consider subscribing to that rag. They need to just give up and go away.

These days reporters often as not write the headlines to the stories they have just finished writing, and are expected to be their own copy editors....It's the e-world now, not paper-world....

I fear more possibility of this in the future than just poking fun at the current status of the Star today....

Someone just stopped by my house with white out and a sharpie to correct the headline on my paper. Good on them. They should be able to follow up on all the hard copies and make the corrections by sunset.

Fake News.
